Spatex is announcing an exclusive partnership with the Swimming Teachers' Association (STA).

The STA and Spatex will be collaborating to help raise standards in the pool and spa industry. 

Spatex, the industry-led annual UK swimming pool and hot tub business exhibition, will provide a platform for the STA to engage with businesses and share its national and international experience in swimming teaching, lifesaving, pool plant and first aid.

Spatex will also provide the opportunity for visitors to see STA’s web-based programmes, which have been designed to ensure compliance across all areas of leisure and pool management.

Guests will be able to speak to the Swim Academy Team about how they can help leisure managers improve participation, increase income and reduce costs with STA’s Academy business model.

The STA is a member of the British Swimming Pool Federation and has almost 80 years of swimming and aquatic teaching in the UK, with over 7,000 members. It delivers training across four business areas - Swimming Teaching, Lifesaving, First Aid and Leisure Management and offers a comprehensive range of accredited QCF qualifications.
