Combined Level 1 Assistant Swim Teacher & NPLQ
March 19, 2021
Recognising the shortage of pool lifeguards and swimming teachers in Ireland, Swim Ireland now offers a combined Level 1 Assistant Swimming Teacher and National Pool Lifeguard Qualification course.
You can gain your first swimming teacher qualification and complete your NPLQ, all in the one place with Swim Ireland, giving you a huge step up on your career in swimming and the leisure industry.
We piloted this option in July and August last year, and we are kicking off 2021's lifeguard training in April.
