STA Level 2 Swimming Teacher Qualification
Begin your swimming teaching career with STA’s recognised qualification pathway. You’ll develop the skills and confidence to independently teach safe, high-quality and inclusive swimming lessons to children and adults, from non-swimmers through to advanced abilities.
Training covers core strokes, aquatic skills, water safety, survival and rescue techniques, along with a strong focus on practical, work-ready experience. You’ll gain hands-on poolside teaching time throughout the course, ensuring you are fully prepared to deliver engaging lessons and support swimmers’ progression from day one.
This seven-day course includes both theory and practical elements, a tutor-assessed workbook, observed lessons, and a multiple-choice exam. No prior experience is needed, but learners must be 16+.
Completing this course will earn you 10 CIMSPA Points.
The cost for this course starts at £625.
Or, if you’re looking to fast-track your qualification and save money, take a look at our course packages. You’ll find everything you need to become fully qualified and employment-ready, all in one place.
To support your journey, a full one-year Atlantis App subscription is included in your Level 2 course fees (valued at £120 per year), giving you continued access as you transition from trainee to qualified teacher and into your first roles on poolside.
As a new swimming teacher, Atlantis will be your go-to tool throughout your qualification and beyond. You’ll actively use the app during your course to support lesson planning, understand progressive practices, and build confidence in delivering safe, effective and engaging sessions.
Atlantis brings theory to life with step-by-step videos breaking down every skill and stroke, structured lesson planning tools, and CPD content that reinforces your learning. It also provides a professional space to store certificates, track development, and continue building your skills into employment.
