📣Huge announcement📣
I’m proud to share that the Cold Water Facilitator Course is now officially endorsed by the Swimming Teachers’ Association (STA) and carries 1 CPD point.
The STA is one of the UK’s leading aquatic education bodies. The Director of Education, reviewed the course, the content, the delivery, the training resources and safety framework.
And they have approved The Cold Water Facilitator Course as meeting their professional standards.
Director of Education for STA, Kayle said:
“The course provides a comprehensive, engaging, and professionally delivered learning experience that effectively balances depth of content with clarity, while maintaining a strong and consistent focus on safety.’
This work is about standards.
Cold water facilitation is growing fast, but so is inconsistency in how it’s delivered.
And I’ve always believed: if we are going to guide people into this work, it has to be done properly.
Safely. Intelligently. Responsibly.
This endorsement recognises that commitment.
It recognises the depth of training behind this course, the real-world application, and the responsibility we carry as facilitators working with stress, nervous systems, and exposure practices.
For those already in the space, coaches, wellness practitioners, breathwork facilitators, PTs, this means your learning now also contributes to your continued professional development.
For those looking to step into this space, it raises the bar for exceptional cold water facilitation.
Cold water work isn’t just a trend. It’s a tool.
And tools deserve training.
This endorsement from the Swimming Teachers’ Association marks an important step in professionalising and raising standards across the cold water industry as a whole.
Here’s to learning how to facilitate cold water safely, confidently, and professionally.
Many thanks to for their ongoing support 💙
