STA Safety Award for Teachers

The essential water safety and rescue qualification for anyone supervising swimming sessions.

If you're a swimming teacher, aqua aerobic instructor or school teacher and you need a qualification that lets you provide safety cover for swimming sessions, this is the qualification for you.

On the course, you'll learn basic rescue, first aid and resuscitation skills. Holding a rescue/safety award such as this is also recommended for our swimming teaching qualifications, so this may be included with your swimming teaching course.

Delivered at Brighton Swimming Centre by Swim UK — an approved STA training centre.
