Revolutionary new systems are arriving on Tuesday, 1st November 2022.
Read below on how these will benefit you!
Our revolutionary new systems will soon positively change how you interact with STA’s products and services … the countdown is on.
In line with advancements in technology, STA has revolutionised its system architecture to bring members, ATCs, learners and Swim-Shop customers an all-new integrated IT platform. A bespoke system that has been developed and purpose-built to STA’s exact specifications to offer users advanced new features in STA Online, and to provide seamless integration from one login, with the new dynamic international STA Search portal and STA Swim-Shop.
These are STA’s most technologically advanced systems to date, and together they will positively transform how users manage and interact with all of STA’s products and services.
By investing in a purpose-built system and building it from the ground-up, STA has also created a strong IT foundation that allows for continuous growth and improvement – and one that can be built upon to integrate with future technologies.
