Love Open Water Londons Royal Docks, E16 1AH

For those who love open water and want to promote and share their passion by coaching swimmers in an open water environment, STA’s Open Water Swimming Coaching qualification will prepare learners for all aspects of open water swimming coaching including planning, coaching and evaluating open water swimming sessions.

This qualification also meets CIMSPA’s employer-led coach professional standard

Please note - these courses run for 3 days (9am - 5pm) - please ensure you can attend ALL sessions before booking

COST = £450 + booking fee - This fee includes an electronic version of the course manual.

Should you wish to have an additional hard copy you can purchase one during registration. These will be sent out approximately a week before the course starts.

Theory element - 2 days via zoom

The working portfolio will need completing during the video tuition and so a computer/ laptop with a steady internet connection is recommended. 

The tutor will not be able to halt the course if a candidate drops offline for an extended period of time. 

 

This course does not lend itself to being completed on a small device such as a mobile phone as there are a mix of exercises you will be asked to complete both individually and as a group; multiple choice, detailed responses and the drafting of lesson plans.

 

Practical - 1 day onsite at Love Open Water London Royal Docks, E16 1AH
