More Information Below

Take the first step and enrol in one of the Australian Swimming Coaching and Teaching Association’s (ASCTA) nationally recognised and internationally acclaimed Swim Australia™ Teacher accreditation courses.

Choose to enrol in any of three entry level courses to get started on an exciting new career.

A Swim Australia™ Teacher (SAT) has the competence and knowledge to teach swimming and water safety to independent learners in groups of varying sizes. Successfully completing Students of this course will receive a Statement of Attainment with the competencies required to deliver GST free, water related, personal safety and survival lessons.

A Swim Australia™ Teacher of Babies and Toddlers (SAT B&T) has the competence and knowledge to teach water familiarisation and basic swimming and water safety to Caregivers and their dependent learners.

A Swim Australia™ Teacher of Competitive Swimming (SAT CS) will be competent to deliver basic swimming squad sessions that develop the swimming technique of novice Swimmers – this is generally defined as Swimmers who are recent “Learn to Swim” Graduates and are in the likes of a “mini squad” (usually around 10-years and under) and still acquiring the skills needed to transition into competition. This Course is endorsed by the peak sporting body in Australia for swimming – Swimming Australia as the entry level course for the swimming coaching accreditation pathway.
All courses feature a best practise blended delivery technique. You will be provided with a CD ROM containing self-paced theory study. The CD ROMs feature text with colour photos, video and graphs for each Unit of Study. Upon completion of each Unit of Study a series of randomised questions will be asked. If you get any incorrect you will receive instant feedback and will be able to study further then re-answer. Upon completion a Theory Acknowledgement with your name on it can be printed as evidence of your completion. You will then attend the Practical Induction of your course which focuses on transitioning you from theory to hands on practical. Once the Practical Induction is complete you will undertake On the Job training under the supervision and direction of a Lead Teacher. As your confidence and ability grows you will progressively become more involved in the lesson delivery until a Competency Assessment determines you are at the required standard to work independently. How long this can take is determined by your skills, knowledge and abilities.
