STA in partnership with swimming teacher, Ann Lindley, are pleased to launch today a new online CPD: Guided Aquatic Movement Sessions.

This CPD has been created to provide swimming teachers with enhanced knowledge and understanding of potential modifications and adaptations that could be made to the essential movement and swimming skills to support individual participant needs and goals.

It aims to harness the expertise of swimming teachers including their knowledge of swimming strokes, skills, teaching methods, creativity, and everyday movements to further support with the delivery of safe, effective, supportive, and engaging participant-led aquatic movement sessions.

It also highlights the benefits of participation in aquatic activities for all to support individual health and wellbeing as well as providing supporting information with regards to promoting a healthy lifestyle.

While this CPD is primarily designed for swimming teachers, it is also highly suitable for aquacise instructors with a strong foundation of water-based movements.

Topics covered in the programme include:

• Inclusive Teaching
• Participant’s Needs, Modifications and Adaptations
• Evidence-Based Practice
• Participant Motivation
• Participant-Centred Approaches
• Swimming Teaching Strategies
• Essential Movement and Swimming Skills
• Health and Wellbeing
• Benefits of Physical Activity

The online programme, which is now available to purchase via the STA Swim-Shop, will take approximately 4 hours to complete. There is no assessment at the end but there is a statement of declaration to confirm all information has been read and understood. The programme does not expire and upon successful completion, 1 CPD points will be awarded. A certificate of completion will be available to download following successful completion of this programme.
