SEQ Level 1 Swimming Assistant (Teaching) - Practical Sessions Only

While pools were closed, we adapted this qualification and split the theory and practical elements into two courses.

This course covers the practical sessions and assessment and is for those who have already completed their theoretical training including e-learning and theory assessments.

Due to current Covid-19 guidelines and to ensure everyone’s safety, we will be keeping the amount of time you spend at the pool to a minimum so these practical sessions will consist of:

  • 2 x 3 hr Zoom webinar - During this session, the tutor will cover the last of your practical topics, a venue orientation and planning for your swimming lessons.
  • 1 x 4 hr Practical assessment session at the pool – this will consist of a meet and greet, preparation, assisting at least two 30-minute swimming lessons, evaluation and feedback. You will only need to attend one of the practical dates listed below. This will be selected with your course tutor on the first zoom session
  • There will then be a final 1-2-1 once you have finished the above where you will receive feedback from your tutor.

Course fees

The final payment to cover your practical sessions and assessment will be £255.

If you have already paid for your course, email iosadmin@swimming.org for a voucher to book with.

Course content

The course is delivered through a mixture of webinars, virtual activities and practical poolside learning. You will participate in at least two 30-minute swimming lessons to gain hands-on practical experience.

You will put the theory you have already learnt into practice and demonstrate:

  • The responsibilities of a Swimming Assistant

  • An understanding of the Scientific principles of swimming
  • What makes up a lesson plan, equipment and communications skills
