PADI Resort and Starfish AquaticInstitute Approved training center De Smient has translated and further developed the PADI Swim School programme, which has been successfully used in America for years, for the Dutch market. This has created a complete program with which you can start immediately. This program includes:

  • An effective swimming lesson system for all ages (from 6 months), including reward system and diplomas
  • An extensive swimming lesson plan, including lesson slides
  • The training of you and your staff to become a swimming teacher and lifeguard

Giving swimming lessons, as you may have noticed in recent years when giving EFR courses, is a free market. Anyone can issue a swimming certificate in the Netherlands.

The PADI Swim School program is used by many diving schools around the world. The program works with different phases in which a specific swimming skill and safety skill is central in each phase.

The program is a ready-made solution method, which you can use immediately. The PADI Swim School also offers many benefits such as a resource for swimming professionals and a partner network for advice and discounts.

You can find the PADI Swim School – De Smient at booth 184 in the PADI Pavilion

On both days you can also attend a presentation with more information about the PADI Swim School. (Saturday and Sunday at 11:00, room 2).
