“I’ve been swimming from a young age and when looking for a career I knew I wanted to work in fitness and teach children: my mum’s a swimming teacher and has always enjoyed her job. After completing my Level 1 ASA qualification, I joined Westcroft Leisure Centre as an Aquatic Apprentice. This enabled me to gain my Level 2 and meant I could start teaching my own classes, which is something I really enjoy. I teach the same children every week and can really see their progress. My own confidence has grown in the role too and I’ve completed additional CPD courses alongside my swimming teaching. I’ve also been able to qualify as a lifeguard. Th is month I finished my apprenticeship and have taken up a new role managing school swimming lessons. I love being part of the Everyone Active team – it feels like a family, with a really supportive and friendly environment. Working with experienced teachers means I’m learning and growing.” • LISA REEDER
“Seeing my own children enjoying swimming lessons inspired me to train as a teacher. I completed Level 1 and 2 ASA qualifications in 2006 and joined Everyone Active part-time. I also took on an admin role managing school swimming lessons and enjoyed it so much I applied to become a swim manager. From there I was promoted to regional swim impact manager. Th is involves managing 25 teachers, 1,800 children and 15 schools, so there’s lots of organisation required! Being dyslexic hasn’t held me back and Everyone Active has been supportive with training. I still teach one?to?one sessions for children with special needs on Sundays and seeing them lose their nerves and go home with a smile on their face is hugely rewarding. It’s also important I look aft er my team, making sure they progress and develop their skills to ensure they deliver the high standard of teaching we need for our Swim School.” • CHARLOTTE CHAMBERS
“I always enjoyed swimming as a child and I love seeing people progress, so becoming a teacher seemed the perfect role. I joined Everyone Active as a lifeguard, then took my Level 1 and Level 2 swim teacher qualifications – at the time I was the first 17?year?old to take the qualification and I was determined to make the most of the opportunity! I taught lessons as part of the Swim Scheme three days a week for the next three years, while taking CPD courses in water polo, child protection, adult teaching and more. I headed abroad for a time to teach and returned in November 2015, as I love working here. I was given the opportunity to progress to swim lesson manager, which was really exciting. I now work to improve the numbers of participants and make the Swim School a success. I also spend time watching swimming teachers and helping them to progress to swim managers themselves.” For current Everyone Active swimming teacher roles and to apply please click HERE Close Window |
