Welcome to STA, home to the world's largest swim teaching & lifesaving organisation

The Swimming Teachers' Association (STA) is a registered charity founded in 1932; with the charitable objective of...

"the preservation of human life by the teaching of swimming, lifesaving and survival techniques."

 
STA receives no Government funding or support, yet has experienced incredible success over the last few years. Unlike other  professional bodies who are seeing declining memberships, STA is achieving
significant growth; with over 5,000 members to  date.

In addition to this Safety Training Awards is the only awarding body that has QCA approval for its National Rescue Standard (NaRS) Lifeguarding / Lifesaving  and First Aid Awards, Swimming Teaching Certificates and Pool Plant  programmes; this clearly demonstrates the STA’s commitment to  providing nationally acknowledged vocational awards that address the  government’s skills strategy agenda.more »
