STA Award in Teaching Swimming Course

The STA Award in Teaching Swimming aims to produce teachers that can teach up to 12 non-swimmers through to improver participants and deliver the STAnley Series of awards up to the Octopus and Goldfish Series of STA’s International Learn to Swim Programme.

They may also act as an assistant swimming teacher and can teach larger classes or advanced skills under the direct supervision of a swimming teacher qualified to certificate level.

Due to the expanded size of the STA Award syllabus, some additional pre-course Zoom theory sessions (totalling 4 hrs) have now been programmed to accommodate the new syllabus and aid the learning experience for all attendees. There are two options to choose from, as detailed below:
Option 1 (2 x 2hr evening sessions):
1st session: Thursday 27 July, 6.00pm – 8.00pm
2nd session: Friday 28 July, 6.00pm-8.00pm
Option 2 (1 x 4hr weekend session incl. break):
Sunday 23 July, 2pm-6pm
Links to the above sessions will be sent out a little closer to the time and we may have some learners from another Award course joining us.
