Free Training

To become an International Paralympic Committee Swimming Classifier

London Swimming is delighted to be able to offer a free training course for one individual to become an IPC Swimming Classifier. 

The successful completion of this training would ensure the individual becomes a key member of the London Swimming Disability Team. This is a volunteer position and you would need to commit to attending a classification event at least twice a year, one of which would be in London.   

• 1 day induction – Ponds Forge, Sheffield – 1^st November 2008
• Completion of an on-line seminar (10-15 hours)
• Attendance at an event where there are classifications taking place
• Attendance at seminar & DSE Long Course, Sheffield – 12^th -17^th May 2009

To become a Medical Trainee you would need to be a doctor or physiotherapist, who has been practicing for a minimum of 2 years.

Alternatively you may wish to become a Technical Trainee and would need to be a qualified swimming coach. For a Technical Trainee coaching knowledge is more important than experience with disabled swimmers. 

The deadline is the 22^nd September 2008.
