As of September 1, 2008 The Foundations of Coaching online test is based on the Foundations of Coaching DVD. The book based test is no longer available.
1. The Foundations of Coaching DVD based test is taken from:
A. The Foundations of Coaching DVD,
B. The downloadable documents accessible from The Foundations of Coaching DVD and
C. The USA Swimming Rules & Regulations
Note: The Foundations of Coaching DVD is available for $25.00 on the USA Swimming online store. The DVD and accompanying documents make a great start to a coaching library and it is highly recommended that a coach purchase the materials prior to taking the test. Every coach will automatically be sent a free copy of the USA Swimming Rules & Regulations, which should arrive within 3 months of your registration.
2. Upon passing the test, your LSC Registration Chair will automatically be notified so that your registration status can be updated to "Coach Member." If you indicate when you start the test that you wish to receive ASCA Level One certification credit, ASCA will also automatically receive notification. ASCA (American Swim Coaches Association). The ASCA Level 1 Test IS NOT acceptable for USA Swimming certification. The ASCA test DOES NOT include the USA Swimming Rules and Regulations questions.
3. The Foundations of Coaching exam is an open book test. Since it is open book, successful completion will requires a score of 160 correct answers out of 180 questions. If you do not score at least 160 correct answers, you must retake the ENTIRE test. You may take the test as many times as necessary until you achieve a passing score of 160. Note that you will get a different version of the test each time you retake it.
