Just out of curiosity is there any hold over after DESNCO

if so do the newly graduated acting Sergeants have any specific holding in any positions like officers or do they have the same hold over as aviators

Bit of an odd question,

Ive been a swimming teacher for a while and I do some discounted/ free swim teaching for people that have difficult circumstances, Would I be able to offer the same and get just enough money to cover renting a lane in a pool not actually get any money from it. I really love swim teaching and was wondering if it would be possible, I have the correct qualifications for it.
