AUSTSWIM

The AUSTSWIM accreditation is the industry standard for Swimming and Water Safety Teachers™ and is delivered and recognised in each state and territory of Australia and many countries overseas. There are currently over 32,000 AUSTSWIM Teachers in Australia and internationally with over 10,000 licensed in teaching specific programs such as Infants, Access and Inclusion, Towards competitive strokes and adults. We work closely with aquatic facilities, education departments, peak industry organisations and partners to achieve the AUSTSWIM philosophy that all Australians should have appropriate and relevant swimming and water safety skills and understand the principles and practices of water safety.
AUSTSWIM was formed in 1979 as a result of national and state based aquatics organisations identifying the need to have a national body to oversee the training and accreditation of swimming and water safety teachers.
