The Swim & Lifesaving Instructor is a combination course designed for those who wish to teach the Lifesaving Society's learn-to-swim and lifesaving programs. Candidates are trained using a competency-based model that walks them through teaching and evaluation philosophy and the techniques/approaches required to teach developing swimmers, water rescue, first aid and related aquatic skills. Instructors also learn about long-term and short-term planning, class management, safety supervision, and the principles of evaluation. This course includes a supervised practice teaching component that will better prepare candidates for future job opportunities as an instructor. Prerequisite: Must be 15 years old by last day of the course and hold a Bronze Cross certificate (need not be current) and have successfully completed the Adapted Swim Instructor Course - free online session.
