STA is delighted to announce an exclusive new training partnership with Swimming Nature, who over the last two decades have successfully developed their own unique approach to teaching swimmers in a personalised private lesson setting.

Over the next few months, STA will be working with the founder of Swimming Nature, Eduardo Ferré, to create a new online training programme that encompasses their award-winning teaching programme.

Zoe Cooper, STA’s Commercial Director, said: “We look forward to working with Eduardo and his team over the coming months to develop a unique CPD that will provide swimming teachers all over the world with insight into how Swimming Nature successfully teach learners in a personalised private lesson environment.”

“As an international teaching community, learning about different ideologies is such an important part of our continuous professional development. By sharing the specialist teachings of the Swimming Nature Method, and providing a more in-depth understanding of the alternative approaches they use to teach swimmers of ages and abilities on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis, we want to start conversations and inspire new ways of thinking that can positively enhance our knowledge – and even serve to create new future income opportunities for teachers, especially in the current climate.”

Eduardo Ferré, said: “We are very proud of our pioneering approach to teaching, and as a team, we are looking forward to sharing our knowledge and our passion for swimming with the STA and their members with the launch of this new CPD. Together through education and training, we want to raise standards in this specialist area of the private swim school market and in turn create new professional teaching opportunities.”
