Information about the Rescue Swimming
Instructor at BRK Wasserwacht

The Teaching Certificate for Rescue Swimming authorises the holder to train and conduct examinations in rescue swimming in accordance with the existing examination regulations and issued implementation provisions. In addition to Water Rescue personnel, the instructor also trains interested persons who are not members of Water Rescue.

Swimming Instructor

In the swimming field, there are naturally many opportunities for community education:
- Water familiarisation with parents and child (from approx. age 3)
- Beginner swimming for children and adults
- Training and examination for official swimming badges
- Advanced courses in front crawl and backstroke
- Technique improvement in various swimming styles
- Courses for the snorkelling badge

Therefore, above-average swimming skills in at least two competitive swimming styles including starts and turns, as well as a 100m timed swim within the requirements of the German Swimming Badge Gold, are expected. Participants must learn and demonstrate through teaching practice the communication of knowledge about water, safety aspects, training theory, physics in water and error correction.
