3 Jan 2018 - HIGH IMPORTANCE

Following SportSG’s requirements for Singapore Swimming Association, all coaches hired by SSA must be registered with NROC by 1 January 2018.
This policy will also be implemented by ActiveSG and MOE effective 1 January 2018.
 
 
Singapore Swimming Association strongly encourages all coaches, in clubs or private pools to register with the National Registry of Coaches.  
Through NROC, Singapore Swimming Association seeks to provide quality assurance to the public and your swimmers.
Coaches in the registry are committed to the coaches’ code of ethics and continuous learning throughout their term.
 
Starting 1 July 2018, coaches who wish to apply for an accreditation pass to be on deck during national competitions must be an NROC Member.
Singapore Swimming Association will provide opportunities for all coaches to register with NROC as a member.
 
For non-registered coaches, NROC has introduced a provisional membership category. The provisional membership will allow existing and aspiring sport coaches to participate in academic, educational and professional development activities to improve their coaching practice as they work toward completing all requirements of full NROC membership.

Over a 3-year provisional membership period, registered coaches will be given priority enrolment into various coaching courses and activities organised by Sport Singapore, Singapore Swimming Association and other organisations.

In order to help coaches attain the Provisional membership, Singapore Swimming Association will facilitate registration for Values and Principles in Sports and First Aid effective immediately based on demand.

Requirements to join the NROC are as follows:
