Course Description
The AUSTSWIM Towards Competitive Strokes course is developed to help AUSTSWIM Teachers develop their knowledge, skills and understanding of the higher levels in learn-to-swim programs. The course aims to provide candidates with a better understanding of how to deliver longer sessions as well as how to develop strokes so they become more and more efficient in the water. The AUSTSWIM TCS is a pre-requisite course to enter the Swimming Australia coaching pathway and is a link between the two organisations.
The AUSTSWIM Towards Competitive Strokes course is extremely valuable for the teacher of the more advanced swimmers, as it provides a basis to enable all swimmers to achieve good swimming technique. This course helps teachers to develop their knowledge and expertise in each of the essential disciplines of competitive swimming. 
To enrol in this extension course, candidates MUST hold a current Teacher of Swimming and Water Safety Licence (TSW). Secondly, the candidate should have the desire to teach children to progress in the world of swimming by becoming the vital link in the swimming coaching pathway.
The AUSTSWIM Towards Competitive Strokes  course contains NO units of competency.
PLEASE NOTE: AUSTSWIM Extension courses will no longer automatically renew the AUSTSWIM Teacher licence. This is to ensure AUSTSWIM continues to uphold the highest quality standards of swimming and water safety education.
(AUSTSWIM is not a CRICOS provider and cannot enrol students on an international student visa subclass 500 for courses run in Australia)
