Swim For Life Instructor Course
The Lifesaving Society Swim Instructor course prepares the instructor to teach and
evaluate the swimming strokes and related skills in the Swim For Life program. Candidates acquire proven teaching methods, planning skills, and a variety of stroke development drills and correction techniques. Upon successful completion of this course, candidates will become certified to teach the Swim for Life and Swim Patrol Program. AquaPulse has a special Swim For Life Course because we require candidates to have hands-on experience with teaching students. To complete this requirement, as part of their in-person classes, candidates will complete a co-teach with an experienced AquaPulse instructor who will guide them through a real-life lesson and be there to give teaching tips for every skill.
