Recognizing International Day of Persons with Disabilities

International Day of Persons with Disabilities is held annually on December 3rd.  This year’s theme is “Building Back Better: toward a disability-inclusive, accessible and sustainable post COVID-19 world by, for and with persons with disabilities”. 

Swimming Canada is making its Para Swimming Coaching Module free through its Learning Management System for all coaches from November 30th through December 5th. This module, normally $15, helps coaches remove barriers when it comes to coaching Para swimmers and will help Para swimmers be better served and better coached. The module aims to get coaches to ask better questions, be more prepared, and as eager to learn about their Para swimmers’ needs as the swimmers themselves are to succeed.
