Withdrawal of Open Water Swimming Qualifications

Posted on 17th January 2017

Following a review of qualifications offered by STA, and in order to ensure that our qualifications remain fit for purpose and suitable for the needs of the industry, the decision has been taken to withdraw STA’s range of open water swimming qualifications:

  • STA Level 1 Award for Pool to Open Water Swimming Coaching (QCF)
  • STA Level 2 Award for Open Water Swimming Coaching (QCF)

Courses are no longer registerable for these qualifications. All outstanding paperwork for courses that are already registered must be returned to STA by 30th June 2017.

Exciting new open water swimming qualifications will be developed over the course of 2017, with further details to follow. If you have any feedback relating to open water swimming coaching, or if you have any questions regarding these changes, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
