How It Works
Instructional Videos
Instructional videos with step-by-step guidelines on how to encourage and develop children's swimming skills and techniques.
Certification Testing
Once your swimming instructors complete their video training, they can then take our online tests for certification.
Certification
With the completed test, the swimming instructor is presented a Certificate of Completion - signed by Jim Reiser, President of Swim Lessons University.
Courses and Certifications
Our swimming instructor training and certification system is comprehensive, easy to access and apply, and includes the supporting tools, such as lesson plans and a water safety focused awards system, to make your Learn To Swim program a success.
The #1 goal of Swim Lessons University is to make swim teacher training and certification easier, more cost effective, and practical.
Resources
Swim Lessons University has developed an innovative system for rewarding swimmers as they complete each course.
Children are given a brightly colored bracelet for each completed swimming course that is color coded to help communicate to parents, teachers, and lifeguards the skill level of each child as they progress through the swim lesson curriculum.
