teachers
Every group lesson at the Alliance Wavebreakers is led by a qualified swimming instructor, with assistance from one or more teaching assistants (many of whom are older Alliance swimmers or parents of swimmers). Up to level 3, teachers and/or teaching assistants are in the water with the swimmers. As swimmers progress, teachers move to the pool side better to oversee stroke development.
