The Swimming Teachers’ Association is an international award-winning charity working towards the objective of:

"The preservation of 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 17,000 members, we continue to develop qualifications in swimming teaching, lifesaving and leisure management to support the needs of the industry.
