Are you looking for a flexible, fun and interesting profession?
Swimming lessons and water safety education are important for all people living in Australia. Being a Swim Teacher is a rewarding job where you teach people of all ages how to swim and be confident in and around water. You do not need experience. You do need the confidence to give it a go! Sound interesting?
Our PARC Swim STAR Program allows you to become a qualified Swim Teacher, efficiently and economically, and get paid while you undergo your training!
What is the PARC Swim STAR Program?
STAR is a free program, which stands for Swim Teacher Active Recruitment. This program offers participants the opportunity to undergo their Swim Teacher qualifications, with the associated costs covered by PARC, and undergo paid placements hours in the water from the very start (that’s right, no unpaid water training hours!).
The program is open to the entire Frankston community and would suit all walks of life – retirees looking to feel connected with the community, mums or dads looking for hours that suit their busy lifestyles, people who are studying, and even those of you still at school with flexible hours outside school times and on weekends available.
Although you cannot become a licensed Swim Teacher until age 17, you can start your paid training from age 16. The STAR Program allows you to complete the course and training hours whilst being paid as an Assistant. By the time you turn 17, you are ahead of the game and can be paid a higher rate and start teaching solo immediately!
