Question 1

Do I need prior swim coaching experience to register?

Accepted Answer

No prior experience or certifications are required. Our course builds you up from a beginner newbie to a certified swim coach.

Question 2

My swim strokes aren’t very proficient — can I still register?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Our exclusive Personal Development Course assesses your strokes and teaches you how to correct others’ strokes correctly and efficiently.

Question 3

I can’t swim very well — can I still become a coach?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Unlike other programmes, we welcome individuals who may not know how to swim yet. After your SCTA course you can coach at Fabulous Swim and receive weekly training sessions to build your confidence in the water.

Question 4

What will I learn in the SCTA Swim Coach Course?

Accepted Answer

Water safety standards, water rescues, survival skills, water familiarisation, lesson planning, stroke assessment, demonstration and delivery — combining classroom instruction with hands-on practical pool sessions.

Question 5

Do I need a CPR and First Aid certificate before I enroll?

Accepted Answer

No, you don’t need it before the SCTA course. However, a valid CPR & First Aid certificate is ultimately required by SCTA for licensure.

Question 6

I’m already a certified coach — can I just take the infant course?

Accepted Answer

Certainly. You can enroll in the Infant & Toddler course (provided you meet the prerequisites) so you can coach infants from as young as 4 months old.
