Are you a Molchanovs Lap or Wave 2 Instructor with a passion for teaching freediving to children? Do you want to inspire a love for freediving in the younger generation?
If so, it’s time to become a Molchanovs Junior Freediving Instructor and help shape the future of freedivers! As a Junior Instructor, you’ll have the opportunity to teach kids as young as 4 years old various swimming techniques, pool freediving disciplines, and depth freediving, both in formal courses and during training sessions after the courses have concluded.
The Junior Freediving Education Program consists of three age groups, featuring Discover, Lap, and Wave Сourses: 4 – 7 years, 8 – 11 years, 12 – 15 years.
Unlike the adult freediving courses, the content of the Junior Lap and Junior Wave courses is entirely separate — a Junior Wave course does not cover the pool material from the Junior Lap course.
To become a certified Junior Instructor, a freediver must successfully fulfill all requirements according to teaching assessments, performance requirements, and exams.
