The Swimming Teachers’ Association (STA) is an international charity working towards the objective of preserving human life by the teaching of swimming, lifesaving and survival techniques. This objective underpins all that we do at STA, and since 1932 has driven our commitment to providing the highest quality qualifications and charitable services within leisure. As a national governing body for swimming and lifesaving with over 12,000 members, we continue to develop qualifications in swimming teaching, lifesaving and leisure management to support the needs of the industry. Importantly, STA is committed to representing the needs of the leisure industry and continues to advance its range of learning programmes, improve member services and innovate via its digital portfolio of leisure management and training services
