Stepping Stones Teachers:
Stepping Stones only employ SSTQ or UKCC accredited swimming teachers, this qualification unlike other ensures that all our teachers have achieved the highest coaching award in aquatics there is. There are other swim teaching qualifications out there that qualify teachers after only a couple of days training! At Stepping Stones we don’t think that is enough, we want our teacher to fully understand how to effectively identify, correct and improve swimmers technique at all levels. This can only be done with a full understanding of the discipline. There is a full breakdown of the SSTQ accreditation after the teacher enquiry link below.
