Welcome to VIRTUAL HALF Fish
Here we go with our attempt to try and develop our teachers whilst we get through the Co-Vid 19 crisis that has engulfed our leisure and swimming industry
So here we go ...
We know this is a difficult time for swimming teachers, many of us are self-employed or have our own pools. Last month myself and Sarah (one of my swimming teachers) created a list of online / free / inexpensive cpds to keep ourselves busy (Sarah had just been to America and had to spend a couple of days in a hotel due to cancelled flights!) .....
As the Covid 19 situation developed we thought we would share our list ..... please feel free to add to this and share it .....
So to access the list see the table below
You will be directed to a new page, and then click on each of the hyperlinks to get you to the training that you want to do.
A suggestion from a fellow tutor was to charge for each download of the list ..... for those of you who know me – this hadn’t even crossed my mind – I just wanted to ensure we all have something positive and get through this difficult time ….. so
If you complete one of the CPDs we have added (or another one and let us know what it is so we can share it with everyone else), let us know by completing the table HERE – screen shot it if you want and we will send you a virtual certificate (you print it …. No cost to anyone – just time {which we have a lot of at the moment!!})
If you want to support our pool complete 10 CPDs and let us know (you will still get your certificates) but if you want a bespoke HALF Fish HQ medal we are offering these at £10 ….. we receive NO funding to help us keep our community pool open, so it will help us re-open and give our teachers hope that we will get through this ….. so study with VIRTUAL Fish …..
So who is going to be the first VIRTUAL HALF Fish!!!!
|
Put your full name in the column etc and then put the date against ANY of the CPD you complete ….many don’t have a certificate to go with them (or it costs to get one!)
The hyperlinks should take you to the training
Just email halffish@hotmail.co.uk and we will produce you an electronic certificate for each one you complete. If you complete 10 cpd's and want to support us getting our pool back on tracj and would like a bespoke HALF Fish HQ medal for virtual learning let us know .... these cost £10
Lets see how many people can become virtual HALF Fish!!!! |
||||
| Notes - the hyperlinks should take you to the training. We also have lots of resources on our website …. We will be adding to them weekly. Please follow us on facebook HALF Fish HQ to get them as soon as we release them | ||||
