   Update on Safety Training for Swim Coaches  

08/30/08:  There is still a lot of confusion out in the field regarding Safety Training for Swim Coaches.  Coaches will be required to successfully complete the 26-question online test ONLY WHEN their CURRENT lifeguard or STSC certification expires.  Many coaches seem to think that they must take the STSC online test this year in order to renew their 2009 coach membership.  If their STSC/lifeguard certification doesn’t expire this year, they don’t have to take the online test. The online test is NOT required UNTIL their current certification expires.
