Event information
Registrations for this event are closed.
Instructors, please come along to this important workshop that is being run to consolidate the valuable contribution by Sophie Rennie on her last visit.
We'll discuss key skills that instructors should teach consistently and to a high standard and strategies to achieve this. Ideally the skills we see and discuss will be practised in the Chandler pool on 31 March by those instructors who can make it.
Food: I'll advise everyone of food arrangements. Mark has kindly volunteered to cook. Cost should be under $5 per person but we need final numbers.
Start time: There's a lot to cover so we should start at 6PM sharp. Please come earlier if you can, in order to get settled and sorted. The building is automatically locked at 6PM so anyone arriving after that will need to call Mark.
Parking: Very limited parking may be available in the building. Mark will need to swipe cars into the basement for parking by prior arrangement. Parking may be available on street but it is paid until 7PM. Public transport or ride sharing is the best option.
