12/07/2010 - Kellogg's Champion Training


An exciting opportunity has arisen from Kellogg’s who have sponsored the development of the Kellogg’s Champion workshop.

The workshop is aimed at anyone who works/volunteers within the community to help you to promote aquatic activities to those who do not currently participate in water activities and encourage them to get in the pool.

The workshop explores why people avoid the pool/water and how to engage community groups to attend aquatic activities. Anyone who works within a community setting can attend the training e.g. Health trainers, Groups like Women’s Institute, Slimming world, Sports teams, Councillors, NHS/PCT etc.

If you are or know anyone who fits this description and would be keen to learn a little more about how to promote aquatic activities please pass on details of the courses being held at:
