Before you leave your details.

The five things people ask before enrolling.

Ask us yours
Do I need to be a competitive swimmer?

No. You need a solid command of the four strokes and to want to teach. The program is about pedagogy, not performance.

How long does each program take?

To be confirmed by the institute. Lessons are recorded, so you set the pace.

Is there any in-person practice?

The practice is done in your own pool and filmed. You send it in and it comes back corrected.

How do I pay?

For now, enrollment is arranged with an adviser after you send the form. Online payment is on the way.

I run a club. Can you train my staff?

Yes. Say so in the form and we will reply with group terms.

Leave your details and we will design your path.

Fill in your details and we open WhatsApp with the message already written. An adviser replies with the program that matches your level, the dates and what the certification involves.

We only use your details to reply about the programs.
