Swimming Lesson Helper 

This eLearning will equip you with the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to effectively help a swimming teacher deliver a swimming lesson.

Who is the eLearning designed for?

This eLearning is aimed at anyone aged 14-16 who wants to gain experience and/ or volunteer in swimming lessons. It is perfect for those wishing to pursue a career in swimming teaching but not yet 16 and able to complete their SEQ Level 1 Swimming Assistant (Teaching) qualification.

Format

The eLearning will take you approximately 2 hours to complete and will include interactive activities and knowledge checks throughout. At the end of the eLearning there is an assessment to complete; to pass this you need to score 80%.

Once you have completed the online learning, you can download a copy of your e-certificate and practical worksheet. We recommend you complete your practical learning worksheet with a suitably qualified swimming teacher. Once you have completed the practical learning worksheet, you will be ready to start your SEQ Level 1 Swimming Assistant (Teaching) qualification once you turn 16.
