This Level 2 Award is a 3 day course, approximately 24 hours in total and is usually run over a weekend (Friday-Sunday)
The course will be delivered by Sean Connor, who is a Water Safety Special Needs Swimming Tutor and co-designer of the prescribed syllabus and Pat Flanagan, who has worked extensively with Active Disability Ireland and has been a key contributor to the CARA program for a number of years.
The course will combine swim theory and 4 practical swim teaching sessions on a one-to-one basis with swimmers with disabilities. I will liaise with local disability groups to arrange swimmers for the practical. I intend to propose an award system to Water Safety Ireland for pool facilities who promote inclusivity as part of this program.
No previous swim teaching qualification is required to enrol on the course. There are a limited number of places available. Course cost is €400 per candidate.
