Event information

This event has passed.

A Swim AustraliaTM Teacher of Competitive
Swimming (SAT CS) has the competence to deliver basic
swimming squad sessions that develop the swimming
technique of novice Swimmers - this is generally
defined as Swimmers who are recent “Learn to Swim”
graduates and are in the likes of a “mini squad” (usually
around 10 years and under) and still acquiring the skills
needed to transition into competition.
This Course is endorsed by the peak sporting body
in Australia for swimming - Swimming Australia,
as an entry level course of the swimming coaching
accreditation pathway.
All entry level courses feature a best practise blended
delivery technique. You will be provided with a Course
CD ROM, or an online login enabling you to undertake
self-paced theory study. The theory content features text
with colour photos, videos and graphs for each Unit of
Study. Upon completion of each Unit of Study, a series of
randomised questions will be asked.
If you respond incorrectly you will receive instant
feedback and will be able to study further then
reanswer. You will then attend a Practical Induction for
your selected course which focuses on transitioning you
from theory to hands on practical. Once the practical
Induction is complete you will undertake On the Job
training under the supervision and direction of a Lead
Teacher.
As your confidence and ability grows you will
progressively become more involved in the lesson
delivery until a competency Assessment determines
you are at the required standard to work independently.
How long this can take is determined by your skills,
knowledge and abilities (nominal 30 hours).
The most popular course is the Swim AustraliaTM
Teacher. Swim AustraliaTM Teacher accreditation is also
a prerequisite for those wishing to gain specialised
accreditations.
