SwimSafer Preparation

Coaching support for swimmers preparing for the relevant requirements of their target SwimSafer stage.

Preparation That Fits the Swimmer

We start with the stage you’re working towards and the skills you can already show. Target stages may differ between swimmers, so sessions focus on your current gaps rather than repeating the same practice for everyone.

Practice may include swimming technique, water confidence, safety and survival skills relevant to your preparation.

Coaching and Official Assessment

Sea Lion provides preparation and coaching support. Official SwimSafer assessment and certification are handled externally.

Being ready in a coaching session is not an official pass, and preparation does not guarantee a pass. I’ll discuss your preparation and a suitable next step with you.

How We Follow Your Progress

We keep track of your target stage, current focus and preparation progress. Your lesson updates help explain what we practised and what to work on next.

Your Learn-to-Swim Journey, where relevant, remains separate from the external SwimSafer assessment.

Let’s talk about your goals.

Tell me about the swimmer and what you’d like to work on.
