Swimming
Sports Season: March – may
Swimming is one of the most popular sports in the world. Unlike other sports, swimming is a life skill that is taught, first, to ensure safety and, second, for sports and competition purposes.
Swimming covers a great variety of skills, from short sprints to longer events and relays. Coaches receive training to enable them to coach swimmers of all abilities, from strong, fast competitors to swimmers who require assistance or floating devices in order to compete.

We believe it is important for our coaches to receive certification training in order to provide them with the tools needed to help our athletes have a positive sports experience. By taking the online certification training, coaches will learn best practices when approaching sports training with our athletes. Certification is required for certain coaching situations and is recommended for all coaches. Please also make sure to check out the SONV Rules and the National Governing Body Rules for Swimming (below)
This training is for you if you have never taken a certification course online or in person! You may also take this entire course to recertify.
If your certification is expiring soon or expired within the last year, take our re-certification quiz to keep your certified status
