ABOUT THE NZ SWIM COACH COURSE:
This course has been created by coaches, for coaches — because experience is everything. Every module has been developed to meet today’s highest standards, with relevant, practical content that supports coaches in the real-world daily training environment.
Coaching has evolved dramatically over the last 10–15 years. Research into the Relative Age Effect and the impacts of maturation has deepened our understanding of developing swimmers. And the growing focus on mental health and wellbeing — for both athletes and coaches — has changed the expectations and responsibilities of our profession.
As coaches, we must continue to adapt. While our core principles remain the foundation of great coaching, our ability to grow, evolve, and respond to new insights is what allows us to truly support the next generation of athletes.
This course is ideal for anyone starting or progressing their swim coaching journey, providing the essential knowledge to step confidently into the role.
You’ll build a strong foundation in the key areas of effective, modern coaching, covering topics such as:
· Administration & Management
· Coaching practices
· Physiology
· Season planning
· Coach and Athlete Health and Wellbeing
If you’re ready to advance along your coaching pathway, this course sets you up for long-term success.
Don’t miss your opportunity to be part of New Zealand’s premier swimming education event as we connect, create and celebrate the future of swimming and water safety across Aotearoa New Zealand.
