Hi all MLC members.
With the possibility of Covid restrictions being eased over the next couple of months. our thoughts move to the possibility of restarting beach training in the not too distant future (hopefully).
With this in mind we are aware that there are a large number of you who will be looking to renew qualifications that have expired and those of you who are now eligible to take some of the junior and senior awards.
Awards training will take priority when we resume training and to this end I would encourage you to refresh your technical knowledge by going through the e-learning manuals on the SLSA Wales web site.
The main qualifications for junior members are the Level 1 BL qualification for those 12+years; Level 2 for 15+ years and NVBLQ for 16+ year old's.
The syllabus for these awards can be found in the Awards Manual in the Technical section of the downloads of the Members Area. Also in the downloads are the various Quizdom questions for the different level of awards. All of the information and knowledge required for these exams can be found in the e-learning section of the web site with manuals for nippers, juniors and NVBLQ.
I would strongly advise you to refresh your knowledge from these various sections prior to the return of beach training as this will speed up the process of training you to a level at which you are competent to undertake the various exams.
Please don't turn up to beach training after such a long time and expect to be ready to sit exams in a couple of weeks if you haven't refreshed your knowledge and swim fitness. This will take a lot of hard work from coaches and candidates to get you ready to sit exams.
To all coaches/prospective coaches, there is also a Coaching Handbook in the members area/downloads section of the SLSA Wales website and the details above regarding refreshing your knowledge and technical skills is also applicable.
