AUSTSWIM has been Australia’s national organisation for the teaching of Swimming and Water Safety since 1979. In that time, we have trained over 395,000 Teachers of Swimming and Water Safety and continue to train around 13,000 candidates annually.

AUSTSWIM has developed quality aquatic education programs for those wishing to enter the aquatic industry as a Teacher of Swimming and Water Safety, together with a range of industry-leading specialist courses that will enable candidates to become well-regarded assets in their chosen fields.

The AUSTSWIM Licence is the industry standard for Swimming and Water Safety teachers. It is delivered and recognised in each state and territory of Australia, as well as in many countries overseas.

The AUSTSWIM Teacher licence is the most well-known, widely recognised and regarded accreditation in the industry.

AUSTSWIM’s passion for the aquatic industry has seen us grow and develop over the years, allowing us to continue offering the best teacher training to support the wider Australian community.
