With more than 1,900 lessons per week in the DLSA Private Program and 4,000 lessons per week in the DLSA Schools Program it take a sizable and dedicated team of professionals to maintain the DLSA standard of excellence.

All Team members must pass Darren Lange’s personalised training program before conducting their own classes. This course entails 25 hours of practical observation in the water plus more than 6 hours of theoretical workshops and an exam
Team members are regularly assessed, graded and interviewed by the DLSA Senior Teaching Team and/or Darren himself.
Team DLSA attend regular workshops and training days provided by Darren
Senior Staff and Mentoring System ensures all teachers, coaches and administrators can ask questions and get answers they need quickly and efficiently, even if Darren is not available
The Senior Team regularly attend teaching/coaching conferences as well as metropolitan swim programs to meet and discuss teaching/coaching issues with other professionals in the industry
