Role & tasks of the swimming coach
In this course, you will learn what a versatile role you play in swimming lessons: You are not only a trainer, but also a motivator, safety expert and guide for your participants.
Special attention is paid to your tasks during training - from planning and implementation to correcting movements and providing individual support for children and adults. You will learn how to reach both target groups with the right approach and the differences between the role of a swimming coach and a swimming instructor.
A central part is also your responsibility in terms of safety and supervision. You will learn how to keep an overview even in heterogeneous groups, avoid accidents and create clear rules for a safe learning environment. Practical case studies will show you how to react to typical situations - from children with a fear of water to adults who are unsure in deep pools.
It also covers communication in the swimming pool: clear instructions despite noise and distance, targeted use of body language, gestures and visual aids. You will learn how to motivate children in a playful way and how to guide adults in an objective and solution-oriented manner.
