SEQ Level 2 Coaching Open Water Swimming - Theory Only

This course covers the skills needed to effectively plan, deliver, and evaluate a series of open water training sessions.

Training format

This qualification has been split into two courses: theory and practical.

  1. Theory – This will be delivered online through interactive e-learning and virtual classrooms on zoom.
  2. Practical – This will include open water sessions at the chosen venue. Please note we only have minimal spaces available at the lake days so please choose these at the same time as booking your theory. No more Lake days will be added now for 2021 .

This course is the first half and covers the theory only.

The first zoom webinar will help you kick-off your studies. You will then have time before the second webinar to complete your online learning.

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, in between webinars.

You can see the full itinerary below. You will need to attend all sessions and please ensure that you are in a suitable learning environment with strong internet access.

Once you have completed your theoretical training you will then be able to book your practical session.

Course fees

When you start the course and book your online theory, you will pay £ 199.

Once you have finished all the theory, you can book your practical sessions and make your final payment of £ 200.
