Credential: When you have completed the first three blocks of the training, you will earn a Miracle Swimming Part 1 Instructor Certificate. This is to be correctly represented. You will not be a Miracle Swimming Instructor: MSSA doesn’t know how well you learn the system, or how consistently and well you convey the message to students. MSSA doesn’t get their feedback. You will however be able to provide a worthy course which fills a vast need unlike anything else in your area. You may not call it Miracle Swimming but you may display your certificate and reference it in your marketing materials. MSSA supports instructors in becoming fully trained but makes the teaching available to those who do not have this goal.

The book, Conquer Your Fear of Water reveals key material, but it does not teach how to teach the material.

MSSA’s goal is to develop two Miracle Swimming Instructors in each state to start.

There are quizzes but no test for this training. You “pass” when you not only agree with the system, but also get an average of 95% correct on your quizzes and you use the system in every instance. You will become a noticeably better instructor. Mastery takes time and practice.

Part 2 is on location with live Essentials 1 and Essentials 2 courses.

To be a Miracle Swimming Instructor, passing the Part 2 training is required. You must demonstrate mastery of the system, pass written quizzes, an oral test, and demonstrate teaching of several random lessons with the Miracle Swimming System. When you become one of our instructors, you will earn a Miracle Swimming Instructor credential and may use the logo and name, eg: Miracle Swimming Chicago. 

MSSA’s goal is to develop 100 instructors, 4 trainers, and 2 trainer – trainers in the next 5 years. MSSA content should be available worldwide.

Ground Rules
This online training and the recorded sessions are not to be shared with a non-paying person. All materials are proprietary, copyrighted and/or trademarked or patented. Your purchase of this training implies your agreement to this rule. Sign a dedicated document later.

Refunds
Receive a 100% refund, no questions asked, if requested in the 10 days after purchase. After the 10th day, no refunds.

Miracle Swimming Instructors
Instructors sign a licensing agreement to keep the teaching of Miracle Swimming undiluted. We are looking into franchising. You’re required to update your training every two years online or in person at a event (fun as well as instructive). There is a licensing fee of $400/year to keep your license. It is used for Instructor Support year round in your lessons. This is a fraction of a payment of one of your students as they go through Miracle Swimming. You may conduct your own swim school or you may teach for MSSA in various travel locations where courses are scheduled. Student Handbooks for Essentials 1 and 2 are $14 and $10 each respectively at this time.
