The ASA have designed this document to help candidates find their
‘next step’ on the qualifications pathway for Teaching and Coaching. It has been developed to be used as Advice and Guidance only and
not as a set of regulations, please refer to the specific qualification
syllabus for pre-requisites to go onto those programmes. Holders of existing ASA qualifications who do not wish gain
further qualifications at this time, but would still like to progress their
skills and knowledge may do so by undertaking appropriate ASA or IoS quality
assured CPD programmes. LIMITATIONS OF THIS MATRIX: ·
This Matrix only outlines next steps for those qualified
with ASA Swimming Teaching, ASA/UKCC Swimming Coaching and ASA/UKCC Teaching
Aquatics Qualifications. It does note
take into account the next steps for existing ASA Teaching qualifications in
Diving, Water Polo and Synchronised Swimming ·
Please note Level 1 and Level 2 qualifications are still
available in Teaching Swimming to People with Disabilities ·
In the new UKCC qualifications “Teachers of
Aquatics” is the terminology used to describe what used to be called
“Swimming Teachers” – this is due to them teaching more than just swimming
strokes but the basics of all aquatic movements. RECOMMENDATIONS: ·
