Knowledge Boosts
Knowledge Boosts
Achieving the SEQ Level 2 Teaching Swimming qualification builds the foundational knowledge, skills and confidence you need to become a brilliant, independent swim teacher.
But learning doesn’t stop when you get the certificate.
Swimming teachers play a vital role in helping people master an essential life-skill, yet there’s a distinct lack of CPD opportunities for those in the profession. So, we’ve come up with a solution!
CPD for Qualified Swimming Teachers
Our Knowledge Boosts are bite-sized learning modules designed to bridge knowledge gaps and support you to evolve as a brilliant teacher. From teaching learners with disabilities to eliminating common stroke faults, and dealing with poolside anxiety, Knowledge Boosts will:
Build your knowledge
Strengthen your understanding
Support your continuing personal development.
Who are Knowledge Boosts for?
Knowledge Boosts are for you if:
While aimed at independent swimming teachers, swim schools looking to bridge specific skills and knowledge gaps in their teams can also gain access. Please get in touch to discuss how this works.
3 Knowledge Boost Pathways
We’ve carefully curated our Knowledge Boost Series to develop the practical and technical skills and personal characteristics of a brilliant swimming teacher, taking your teaching to the next level.
Teaching the Swimmer
Develop your understanding of the different types of learner. Learn how to adapt your teaching approach to ensure students of all abilities can make progress in your lessons.
Teaching the Skill
Master the techniques every swimmer needs to move well through the water. Improve your technical knowledge of strokes, breathing patterns, streamlining, correcting faults and water safety.
Developing the Teacher
Build the habits, confidence and characteristics of a brilliant teacher, including effective demonstration, praise and feedback techniques, poolside presence, and the fascinating science behind teaching.
How it works
Each Knowledge Boost focuses on one practical teaching concept at a time, giving you:
The key information you need to deepen your understanding and reflect on how you teach
Practical tips that actually work
A clear action to try in your next lesson.
By focusing on one idea or theme, we make learning manageable, so you can develop competence and create serious impact. It’s about moving away from simply delivering lessons to really making a real difference to the lives of learners.
How to access
The format is simple and accessible. Each 90-minute Boost costs £30 and contains key information, practical tips, and a clear action to implement in your next lesson. The only equipment you need is a Zoom-enabled device and a good internet connection. For each Boost, you’ll receive a Water Safety Matters Certificate of Completion to confirm your learning.
