What swimming skill level is required to become an Instructor Aide?

Beginner level skills
Intermediate level skills
The level of skills for the level they are teaching
Advanced level skills

The correct answer is: The level of skills for the level they are teaching

The requirement for becoming an Instructor Aide is that an individual must possess skills that correspond to the level they are teaching. This means that an Instructor Aide should be proficient in the techniques and safety skills associated with the specific swimming class they are assisting with. For instance, if an Instructor Aide is supporting a beginner class, they should be competent in basic swimming skills and knowledge. Similarly, if they are assisting in an intermediate or advanced class, they need to demonstrate those appropriate skills. This approach ensures that the Aide not only understands the instructions given by the lead instructor but can also effectively assist students in developing their swimming abilities. By matching the skills of the Aide to the lesson level, safety, and instructional quality are maintained, benefiting both the students and the teaching environment.
