How does the academy work:
The academy allows aspiring teachers to receive all their training for only £79, compared to the usual cost of over £1,000. It includes mentoring to support your development, and you’ll be matched with an employer.
Successful applicants will complete their SEQ Level 1 Swimming Assistant (Teaching) and Level 2 Teaching Swimming qualifications and be supported through their training journey with Institute of Swimming Membership which includes over £100 worth of free e-learning. To help them develop, trainees will spend some time volunteering and get support from a mentor to ensure they have the necessary experience for the role and are ready to hit the poolside well equipped to teach.
Teaching swimming is an active and rewarding role. Work hours are generally part-time and there are a variety of working hours available across weekdays and weekends.
Successful candidates will need to commit to at least one weekday evening and/or one weekend per week. Additional hours may also be available. Swimming lessons run Monday to Friday 4pm – 6.30pm and Saturdays and Sundays 8:30am -12pm.
These roles are for opportunities to work within the Swimming Lesson Programme at the following leisure centre:
- Lancaster University Sports Centre, Lancaster University, Bailrigg, Lancaster LA1 4YQ
Once qualified successful trainees will be employed as paid swimming teachers by Lancaster University on a casual or part-time basis.
