Upcoming Training and Events
The course was well-organised, with a good balance of theory and practical advice that I can easily apply in my swimming teaching.
Ethan, was highly knowledgeable and approachable. He presented the material clearly and answered questions with useful examples. I found the focus on water safety particularly useful which has given me more confidence in creating a safe environment for pupils.
The workshop was engaging and interactive, and the resources provided will be very helpful when planning and delivering swimming lessons. Overall, the course has made me feel much more confident about teaching swimming.
Harry MatthewsClass Teacher
I would highly recommend this course. The course leader had a lovely welcoming manner and was very enthusiastic about swimming and the skills children need. He was very helpful throughout and we were able to practise the skills using floats and noodles. He was very knowledgable. The booklet that we got is ideal. Explanations are clear and concise and each skill has a QR code to watch a video of the skill if we forget. Easy to share with staff at school and will help us to feel confident going forward. Thoroughly enjoyed!! Thank you!
Jane HillClass Teacher
The workshop was very informative and provided me with useful knowledge on how to teach and support swimming going forward, especially as an ECT with no prior swimming teaching experience.
The workbook included is a great resource to have, particularly as it includes QR codes for each activity that link to a video demonstrating how to perform each one and with what it should look like when done correctly in the water.
Lauren RoxburghECT
This was a great course to be a part of. The resources we have been given will vastly improve the teaching during the school swimming lessons.
Ethan had us all practise and demonstrate the strokes and skills. He ran us though all the coaching points to help us improve on the techniques.
Liam HassallPE Coach and Teaching Assistant
Ethan has a lot of experience and clearly has a passion for teaching swimming. His sessions are clear and well-delivered. I would also highly recommend his deep dive booklet.
Thomas DewhurstClass Teacher
Ethan was very professional and very friendly. He was extremely knowledgeable and his style of teaching was very practical. It was a very enjoyable training session and I highly recommend it to schools and teachers who require confidence and knowledge of the National Curriculum objectives for swimming and how to teach them effectively. I will be sharing this with all staff as it is fantastic. The QR codes and videos are a great touch.

The presenter helped me to feel relaxed so I felt I could participate fully. The QR codes linking to the videos in the workbook are a brilliant addition.

2 Pool 4 School delivered excellent CPD that was informative and has given our teachers the confidence to deliver high quality swimming lessons to our pupils.
Ethan’s delivery was personable, informative and engaging. An enjoyable day. The book, I feel, will be the most important take away from today’s session.

I had a fantastic day on the swimming CPD. Ethan was professional throughout, with an incredible depth of knowledge. He was reassuring, approachable, and made everyone feel at ease, which really helped build confidence. The day was a perfect balance of practical and theory, and the resources provided were excellent. The clear steps for teaching and challenging children will become my bible for swimming lessons! I would highly recommend this course to anyone.

DPW Virtual Assembly
A fun, accessible 30-minute virtual assembly for KS1 and/or KS2, designed for Drowning Prevention Week to teach children key water safety skills through clear visuals, videos, and interactive learning.
Ethan was great. Really inclusive and made it very clear that this is something that we all need to know. It was good that we were discussing and active throughout, not just sitting and listening. Thanks very much!

It was such an informative assembly, really clear for the children to understand. Presenter was clear and concise with the children and kept the assembly at a good pace with really clear information for the children to follow.
