I'm gonna be a swim teacher, baby!

I'm jumping the gun there a bit. Completed the cd-rom and weekend workshop component the weekend before last with the accredited national body. Now have to sit a written exam in a couple of weekends time (first one since 1995 - wish me luck), take a cpr course, and have some supervised practical hours some time in the next year. Then I could be teaching your child, your friend's child or your nephew or niece to swim!! I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time, not sure how good a teacher I'll turn out to be - this is my first real crack at teaching. Now I will have to balance contructive and imaginative suggestions with my ability to see how someone isn't swimming properly.
