Do I need like some kind of permit to teach swimming lessons in the US for a job?We Answered:
You need a lifeguarding certification. They usually take a couple days and quite a few hours. You don't need anything that says you can teach though.John Said:
Teaching swimming lessons to beginners -- please help fill the time!?We Answered:
50 minutes is not a lot of time! Your son should focus on repetition of basic skills since the kids are beginners. Each child should be doing the skills independently of the rest, one-at-a-time while the others sit on the side and wait their turn. For instance, they may all do bobs at the begining of class. It kills 10 minutes by the time they all get in and are wet and are bobbing. Move on to kicing. Make it fun, like "Let's push the wall and move it across the pool!" while they kick as hard as they can or "Let's get Jacob wet!" and make them all kick for awhlie. That kills at least 15 minutes if it's taught properly. Then they would move on to doing their other skills. You're already 25 minutes into the lesson, that's halfway! If they do kicking with bubbles or buoys each chlid should go from the wall to Jacob and back on their own or with his help. The others stay at the wall and practice blowing bubbles and bobbing ("Let me see you blowing bubbles!" or "Everyone kick and see if you can splash Anna all the way out here!" as he works with the one kid the others will stay busy) while Jacob takes each child in turn and helps him or her with skills. Each child only gets a few minutes attention at a time but with 4 kids that adds up to another 20 minutes total. Add in floating on their backs and learning safety rules and a 50-minute class period can easily be filled. If Jacob needs more guidance with his lessons he should ask his supervisor. His ultimate goal is for his students to move up a level in swim class so he should strive to help them accomplish the requirements. If there is extra time he is lucky, he can work harder and the kids will learn more! Repetition is the best teacher and make everything fun and entertaining for the kids. Not just kick, bob, blow bubbles. That's boring. He needs to learn to interact with the kids and get them involved so they don't lose focus. Also, he must make himself a presence so the kids listen. they shoudl respect him and stay on the wall and do as they are told. if not, they will be asked to leave or sit out - and he should enforce this rule. If a parent complains, tell them their kid wasn't following the rules and needs to be more respectful in the future.It sounds like Jacob has not recieved proper training to be teaching lessons and that is not his fault, his supervisors should be more attentive. Parents are paying good money for those lessons, their children should get as much benefit as possible out of them and Jacob needs to bring that to his supervisor's attention. Sounds like his supers are being lazy!!!
Good luck!

Where can a 17 year old college student with a variety of job experiences look for a decent paying job?We Answered:
I think the problem is you're seventeen, and they're limited by labour laws as to how many hours they can actually give you. Probably finding two jobs will be best right now till you turn 18.Pearl Said:

Does anyone know where I can find swimming classes?We Answered:
I work in a leisure centre in rutherglen (lifestyles) and we are always looking for teachers, two rates of pay £9.79 for level 1 and £13.80 for level 2 teachers. As you know my name is dawn, tell her to phone 6429500 and leave her contact number and i can get her started. Probably only cover work to start with but i also know they pool is short staffed also. Worth a try
