Information about the Swimming
Instructor at BRK Wasserwacht

Swimming must be learned and of course teaching swimming must also be learned. For this, Water Rescue has the Swimming Instructor qualification, where participants learn everything for their later activity as swimming instructors.

Swimming Instructor

In the swimming field, there are naturally many opportunities for community education:
- Water familiarisation with parents and child (from approx. age 3)
- Beginner swimming for children and adults
- Training and examination for official swimming badges
- Advanced courses in front crawl and backstroke
- Technique improvement in various swimming styles
- Courses for the snorkelling badge

Therefore, above-average swimming skills in at least two competitive swimming styles including starts and turns, as well as a 100m timed swim within the requirements of the German Swimming Badge Gold, are expected from a swimming instructor. This is practised and examined during the training. In addition to their own swimming abilities, participants must learn and demonstrate through teaching practice the communication of knowledge about water, safety aspects, training theory, physics in water and error correction.
