I'm a lifeguard and would like to teach swim lessons because I'm currently getting paid a little over minimum wage but swim lessons run about $5 for every session, 30 minutes. I was a competitive swimmer for 4 years and now I just swim at lesuire but have never taught others before, I think its something I would really enjoy, but eventhough I'm a good swimmer myself, I'm not really certified to teach anyone else. If anyone out there teaches swim lessons, I thought maybe you could give me some pointers on what to do, what not to do. Thanks, Amber

o.k. but how much does it cost? i feel like i could teach someone how to swim well since i was a competitive swimmer for 4 yrs. and none of the other lifeguards at my pool that teach swim lessons are certified to do so. i was kind of wanting pointers b/c more than likely i'm not going to go through all the trouble of being certified to teach them when noone else is either, especially if getting certified means $ and time, which are 2 things i'm a little bit short of these days, if u know what i mean.
