Coaches

Coaches play a key role in the development of swimmers and programs in order to achieve sport success. Swim Alberta fully supports the need for recruiting, educating and ongoing professional development of coaches. Alberta has almost 600 active registered coaches in the province including both year round and summer swimming programs.

All coaches must achieve and maintain a minimum education standard and other coach requirements laid out in policy by Swim Alberta in order to be recognized coaches and be permitted on the pool deck both during training and competitions.
