Taking place on Thursday 4th March 2010, the third ASA Swimming Teaching Conference will be held at the Heritage Motor Museum in Warwickshire.

The conference is open to all swimming teachers but is particularly aimed at swimming teachers and co-ordinators working on the delivery and improvement of school swimming.

Marc had his left leg amputated because of cancer when he was just 17-years-old but was still able to fulfill his dream of being the best that he could be and just 18 months after he finished his chemotherapy he was selected to represent Great Britain.

He subsequently competed at European & World Championships and Paralympic Games. In his 17 years of competition he won a staggering 12 Paralympic medals from 5 Games, 4 of those medals being gold. Marc also won a further 21 medals from European and World Championships.

There will also be a range of informative and inspirational workshops including:

Using different teaching styles for school swimming - focuses on the 4 strands of the National Curriculum and how to use different teaching styles that can be adopted to improve school swimming.

Effective school swimming - looking at the programming, delivery and monitoring of swimming programmes within school swimming.

Teaching swimmers with disability/challenging behaviour - explains the conditions, syndromes and disorders and gives strategies for managing the behaviour of a swimming teaching environment.

Sir Clive Woodward, England’s World Cup-winning former Rugby Union coach is to speak at the ASA’s first ever Council Conference.

Sir Woodward, who has now turned his attention to producing elite athletes for the Olympic Games in London 2012, will give the afternoon address at the conference on Saturday 10th October at the Holiday Inn in Stratford-Upon-Avon.

The ASA is holding its first Council Conference to look at the current challenges it faces and to show its members and volunteers how together everyone can drive the organisation’s future development.

The aim for the free of charge event is for everyone involved in the ASA to be inspired, motivated and informed about the work of their association.

The day will feature other guest speakers from the ASA, workshops and a ‘market place’ to enable interaction between staff and delegates, with a chance for delegates to ask questions at various stalls on topics such as membership and insurance, employment issues within clubs and online entry to events.
