Become SURGE Strength Dryland Certified (SSDC)
Becoming SSDC is the pinnacle of what we offer when it comes to dryland education. For the first time, swim coaches can work through a formal education process surrounding all aspects of dryland and strength training for their swimmers.
After enrolling and passing the exam, swim coaches will be able to identify themselves as SSDC. This credential demonstrates to others that they understand the principles of a sound dryland program and can, therefore, lead their swimmers through a successful dryland training program.
The curriculum of the SURGE Strength Dryland Certification is designed to provide a foundational understanding of athletic development and strength training principles, as it specifically relates to swimmers and improved performance.
The SURGE Strength Dryland Certification is an on-demand, self-paced, video-based learning experience. This isn’t just another certification where you read through a binder and mail it in. We take great pride in raising the industry standard for dryland training, education, and now certification. This curriculum and exam standard will continue that tradition.
Once certified (SSDC), you’ll retain access to the curriculum as well as opportunities to continue your dryland education through the Graduate Level of the SURGE Strength Academy (admission is only extended to those that are SSDC).
The SURGE Strength Dryland Certification is delivered, consumed, and tested 100% online, so coaches worldwide can learn more to help their swimmers through dryland training.
If you’re serious about building your dryland program for the ground up as a coach, or if you work with swimmers, or are even self-coached, becoming SSDC is your best option for formal dryland education.
And if you’re still unsure if the SSDC is right for your just listen to what other coaches are saying about becoming SSDC.
