1955-present: Aquatic Artist, choreographer and historian
With the introduction of the International Academy of Aquatic Art (IAAA) in 1955 men were welcomed in synchronized swimming events, and Hubbard created and performed as ''aquatic artist'' until 2009 in various compositions, especially solos, at many IAAA festivals throughout North America. In 1960 he choreographed two mixed trios ''Othello'' after Verdi's Otello and ''A Medieval Morality'' that were the first to receive top honors from IAAA in that category. At that festival he presented the first male solo ''A World of Silence'' to be awarded ''First Class Honors'' from the IAAA. As the historian of the IAAA he documents the organization's history and artistic activities, and shares such information in IAAA's newsletter ''The Aquatic Artist''.Further reading
