National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers and Coaches (NRASTC)
The NRASTC is a supervision and rescue qualification for teachers working on the poolside or in the water during programmed activities, such as a swimming lesson. It is suitable for teachers working in a wide range of swimming pools, including pools where the water is deeper than the teacher’s standing depth. On Sunday 25tth February 2018 all our swim teachers came in for a training session, we run three of these a year at our Morriswood pool to ensure that Horsham Swim School teachers are always up to date with latest policies and they more importantly have practiced what to do in case of an unlikely emergency.
