The DeKalb Park District has started a new course for older teens and adults interested in teaching swim lessons in and around the DeKalb County area.

Successful completion of this course will help people become more marketable when applying for a swim instructor position. Instruction will be given on the basic strokes taught in lessons and will include age appropriate skills, vocabulary, tools and equipment, safety and more. 

Attendees will work as teams, individuals and one-on-one as they develop skills on how to teach groups and private programs. They will learn from classroom lectures and in-water practices.
