| There
are currently 2 Versions of the Level 1 Foundations of Coaching materials
available:
1) the older book version which includes the Foundations of Coaching
and Progressions books;
2) and the new version (June 2008) which is a 2 DVD set plus links to
an online manual.
USA Swimming
will only accept the New Version Foundations of Coaching Test on THEIR
WEB SITE which is based on the new DVD/On Line Text materials.
There
4 tests available, 2 old edition and 2 new editions. The test you
take depends on whether or not you need the USA Swimming Coaching
Education requirement and which set of materials you have – DVD or
Books.
