Based on your written application we'd like to learn more about you through two short video submissions.
We appreciate the time and care you put into this step.
Submitting the videos does not guarantee acceptance into Cohort 1.
This video helps us understand who you are and how you communicate. Items you could include:
Your background in swimming, aquatics, instruction, or just loving water
Why you're interested in obtaining a LifeCycle Swim School Certification
What draws you to teaching swimming
Describe your teaching style (or potential teaching style), or philosophy
We want to see your swimming skills. You'll have to recruit someone to take the video.
Demonstrate as many strokes as you know how to do (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, elementary backstroke, sidestroke). Swim about 15 yards each of any stroke you're demonstrating
Any formal water entry skills you know (diving, pencil jump)
Any additional racing skills you know (flip turns, open turns, underwater dolphin kicks)
Notes:
> Any type of pool is fine
> We're looking for water comfort, competence and form, not elite times. No need to race.
> If accepted into the program, your training includes stroke refinement, if necessary
Recording Guidelines: Record video on phone or tablet; ensure clear visibility and sound
Deadline: 8 days after receiving this email
After you submit the Google Form: You will receive a confirmation screen. No further action is required unless we contact you.
