THE SwimAmerica™ CARD SYSTEM

​

• Rewards and recognizes the work of your instructors •

When a licensed SwimAmerica™ Program Director trains his group of Coaches (instructors), then each Coach is eligible to receive his/her SwimAmerica™ Red Card. The Coach will need to take the Foundations of Coaching test in the back of the Coach Manual and return it to the Program Director. The Program Director returns it to the SwimAmerica™ National Office. We will then send out the Red Card. This Red Card enables the holder to teach in any SwimAmerica™ program in the country.
