This qualification is aimed at those interested in supporting the teaching programme in a learn to swim environment utilising the ASA National Plan for Teaching Swimming.
Achievement of this certificate will qualify you to operate as a support teacher. It will provide you with the generic “how to teach/coach” skills common to all disciplines together with specific focus on movement literacy. The second part of the course will focus on aquatic teaching including the technical knowledge and practical skills which will allow you to actively support a more senior qualified/licensed aquatic teacher at any level, in the delivery of a pre-prepared session. You will be expected to have an understanding of the aquatic environment and a basic understanding of appropriate corrections to common aquatic faults.
This qualification may enable you to secure paid or voluntary work as a support teacher. The qualification is the first stage in a three level coaching structure. Unit 1 is transferable across all ASA disciplines so if you wish to take a Level 1 qualification in another discipline you would only be required to complete Unit 2 within the discipline. The next stage for you will be to progress onto the ASA Level 2 Certificate for Teaching Aquatics and/or Unit 2 of another discipline.
