SEQ Level 2 Teaching Swimming to Babies and Toddlers
May 7, 2019 QualificationsThe SEQ Level 2 Teaching Swimming to Babies and Toddlers replaces the Swim England Level 2 Teaching Pre-School Swimming Qualification.

- The type of assistance you can provide

By the end of this course, you will be able to independently plan, prepare, deliver and evaluate a series of baby and toddler swimming lessons.
“The key to the qualification is that it gives learners a great understanding of children of this age – how they develop, how they learn and how that is fundamentally different to the five-year-old swimmers they will work with within the Learn to Swim programme.”
– Catherine Butt, Swim England Educator
