Testimonial
Recently I, along with a group from our Surf Lifesaving Club, was fortunate enough to complete the surf skills and ocean swimming course with Craig Riddington and Jono Stock. Craig's record as an ocean and surf swimmer and athlete is outstanding, so it was no surprise that he is able to demonstrate an incredible level of skill in the water.
The key to successful adult learning is to be able to explain, show and teach. It is in these areas that Craig and Jono excel. The lessons are tailored to the learning objectives of the group and the conditions of the day. The underlying theory was explained, the skills were demonstrated and then practiced until the competency was achieved.
Different people have different objectives when looking for training. Whether it be for skills, competition or just to feel more confident in the ocean, this course is excellent. Perhaps the most valuable part is the way in which Craig and Jono are able to teach people to think about moving through the ocean. This approach sets up the attendees for ongoing learning and development.
Can't recommend this course highly enough.
