Worden Aquatics offers a free WSI class for all of our swim lesson instructors and swim team coaches.

Did We Mention That We Provide a FREE Instructor Course?

We provide a FREE Instructor course comparable to the American Red Cross WSI (Water Safety Instructor) course. Our instructor course is a two-day course broken up into instruction sessions and in-person pool sessions. There is no cost for this course.

The only prerequisites for our instructor course are:

be at least 16 years of age;
and you must be able to swim 25 yards of front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke. If you are rusty on the aforementioned strokes, we will happily work with you and get you where you need to be to qualify for the WSI course.

Note - Those applying for swim team coach positions are not required to take our instructor course, nor do those with a WSI certificate or years of swim lesson instruction experience.
