“It is so important for all children to learn to swimming and water skills. AUSTSWIM teachers™ have the necessary training to teach swimming and water safety skills all ages.” Brooke Hanson, AUSTSWIM Ambassador

AUSTSWIM’s philosophy, aims and guidelines for aquatic programs serve to create an environment that is appealing and safe with activities that will provide a positive contribution to a child’s physical, psychological, social and emotional growth.

AUSTSWIM believes that:

Participation in aquatic activities should be a positive educational experience providing a range of professionally presented activities and skills for both the child and parent.
Children must be encouraged to learn at their own pace and never be forced to be involved in water activities.
Irrespective of aquatic ability, children are never safe when in, on or around water and must be constantly supervised by an appropriately skilled person.
