The main idea is the structure of the in-person Lifeguarding Instructor course: it requires hands-on practice in two formats. Small-group teaching activities give you a chance to plan, practice, and receive feedback with peers before teaching a full session. The two practice teaching assignments are formal teaching demonstrations you must complete to show you can deliver content, manage a class, and assess learners. Together, these elements ensure you develop real teaching skills in a supported setting, which is why this statement is true. If you thought it wasn’t required or depended on something else, you’d miss how the LGI program builds teaching competence through both collaborative practice and actual teaching demonstrations.
