Can your club host coaching practicals?
January 18, 2022
As most clubs will know the Education team have been working through a backlog of course practicals over the last year.
One of the most challenging areas has been coaching swimming, both level 1 and 2 courses so we would like to focus on getting course practicals up and running between February and June this year.
The main areas of need around the country are listed below, however we are open to any club hosting a level 1 or 2 course if they have the facility and we have the demand to do so.
The individual course needs are also provided below. If your club is interested and available to host a course please contact paulcain@swimireland.ie.
