Swimming Academy Course
Although the term "academia" may refers to a private health club as has been pointed out, it is common in sport to form an "academy" as the name for the actual training centre within the private health club / sports institute......often found with Football Academy, Tennis Academy etc...... the word academy in this sense refers to an institution for the advancement of a particular skill (Collins English Dictionary) The word health club should DEFINITELY not appaear on a certificate course title, although the name of the Health Club or Leisure Centre would appear withinin the context of the organising party / issuer of the certificate.
