With SwimRay, we host our monthly training in an educational and engaging manner to ensure continuous training for our coaches. The appointed head coaches of each session will conduct various training ranging from SwimSafer, Stroke correction and Competitive Races. Coaches gained skills during these sessions which they can then apply during their coaching sessions.
In the month of November, Coach Jo and Coach Zora were the ones leading the training.
Syllabus of the SwimSafer from Level 1 to Gold was covered during the training. Swimsafer is the National Water Safety Programme in Singapore designed to teach learners how to adapt and keep themselves safe in an aquatic environment. It aims to teach swimming proficiency and water survival skills. Coaches attending the monthly training have to understand the test criteria and demonstrate the ability to execute each of the test requirements. Understanding the fundamentals and reasoning behind each drill will allow coaches to design a training plan for their students to eventually attain their certification.
