This course develops your knowledge, skills and abilities as a swimming teacher. It builds on the SEQ Level 1 Swimming Assistant (Teaching) qualification and gives you the skills to independently plan and deliver swimming lessons.
Training format
While pools were closed, we adapted this qualification and split the theory and practical elements into two courses:
This course is the first half and covers the theory only.
The specialist e-learning is split into bite-sized pieces, so you don’t have to do it all in one go. This will mean you can work through the course online at home, at your own pace.
You will be supported through your e-learning with four webinars. These will be led by your tutor and you will be joined by others who have also begun their training.
The first webinar will help you kick-off your studies then you will have your second and third webinar where you will cover more of the course content. This will also give you an opportunity to ask any questions you might have and share your experience of the course so far. There will be a final webinar once you have finished your online learning.
During this time you will also be able to contact your course tutor via email. Your tutor will be using Google classroom to support your lesson planning and learning, so you will need to create a google account. You will be guided through this in your first webinar.

Once you have completed your theoretical training you will then be able to book on to your practical sessions which will include more course content, your swimming lessons and assessment at the pool.
Course fees
As this qualification is split into theory and practical sessions, we are splitting the course fee into two separate payments.
When you start the course and begin your online learning, you will only have to pay £ 272.
Once you have finished all the theory, you can book your practical sessions and make your final payment of £ 408.
Course content
The course covers the theoretical elements and is delivered through a mixture of online learning and live interactive webinars.
