The Lompoc Aquatic Center has announced upcoming sessions of its Swim Instructor Training Program, an opportunity for individuals seeking hands-on experience in teaching swimming.

The program is designed to prepare participants to teach courses within the Lompoc Aquatic Center Swim Lessons Program through comprehensive training in stroke techniques, class management, and participant evaluation.

Participants must be at least 16 years old and demonstrate proficiency in front crawl (freestyle), back crawl (backstroke), and breaststroke, along with floating and treading water for one minute.

Training details and schedule are:
◦ Friday, Feb. 21 – 5-8 p.m.
◦ Saturday, Feb. 22 – 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
◦ Mon. Feb. 24 – 4-6:30 p.m.

The cost is $30, but Lompoc Valley residents who successfully complete the course and are hired as swim instructors within 30 days will receive a full refund.

Upon completing the course, participants will be able to apply for an instructor position.
