At this year’s conference we are looking forward to hosting our first Swim School / Academy Panel, which will give delegates the opportunity to ask our panel (as pictured here) all manner of different questions – they can be related to anything to do with running a swim school, building your own pool, technical, pool programming or business and marketing led.
To help with this segment of the programme, we kindly request that delegates send us their questions in ADVANCE of the conference – this way we can ensure as many questions as possible are answered by the panel in the allocated session time.
Please either post your questions here, DM or email marketing@sta.co.uk with the subject ‘Panel Q&A’ in the email header. Please send in by Monday 21st August 2017.
Many thanks.

Youngsters in Walsall are set to benefit from a new swim academy programme after a new three-year partnership was agreed between Walsall Council and STA.
The new Walsall Swim Academy will run at Bloxwich Active Living Centre, Darlaston Swimming Pool, Oak Park Active Living Centre and Walsall Gala Swimming and Fitness Centre.
The programme, which officially starts in September 2017, will see more than 3,000 learners across the borough – from baby and pre-school swimming sessions through to platinum awards for advanced swimming and Junior Lifeguard courses – benefit from the new structure.
Contact your local centre for details on how to enrol.
