If this is something you would be interested in, we can train you here at The Water School. The teaching of swimming can be an extremely rewarding occupation and very good fun with it!

Of course it is also a very responsible job. After all, you hold the safety of your pupils in your hands and the trust that is placed in you is a great privilege indeed. For these reasons it is very important that you receive the very best training and qualifications. Here at The Water School we offer the Water Safety Ireland qualifications and qualified and experienced tutors.

So what do you need to start this journey? Well of course you need to be able to swim competently in several strokes. You should also have a passion for the joy of swimming and an empathic personality. While it is not a strict requirement of Water Safety Ireland, we strongly recommend that you first train as a lifeguard. As a minimum you will need to have the WSI Swimming Teacher’s Safety Award or it’s equivalent.
