SEQ Level 2 in Teaching Swimming Qualification

December 5, 2025

The SEQ Level 2 in Teaching Swimming qualification sets a new standard for excellence in swimming teacher training. This streamlined qualification equips you with all the skills, knowledge, and confidence to deliver safe, fun, and inclusive swimming lessons from day one once qualified without the need for a separate SEQ Level 1 Swimming Assistant (Teaching) qualification.

This qualification has been officially endorsed by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA) as meeting the professional standard for the role of a Swimming Teacher. Successful completion provides 10 CIMSPA CPD points, ensuring your training meets the highest industry standards.

Why choose this qualification?

Faster, smarter pathway – qualify as a fully-fledged swimming teacher through one comprehensive course.
Poolside-ready skills – learn to plan, adapt, and deliver lessons for all ages and abilities, guiding every swimmer from beginner to confident swimmer.
Structured support – 50 hours total qualification time, including 38 guided hours, blending theory with hands-on teaching and real-time feedback upon assessment.
Flexible entry routes – start directly, progress from Learn to Swim Helper CPD course, or upgrade from SEQ Level 1 Swimming Assistant (Teaching) qualification.

What you’ll learn:

By the end of the qualification, you will be able to:

Teach aquatic skills and strokes across all ability groups.
Prepare and deliver effective schemes of work and lesson plans.
Adapt lessons to meet individual needs and track progress.
Work professionally within an aquatics team and deliver excellent customer care.
Reflect on your teaching practice and continue your professional development.
