I NEED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
10 hours of Professional Development (PD) is required to renew your AUSTSWIM licence. PD refers to any formal or informal training you have undertaken that develops your knowledge and skills as a swimming and water safety teacher. This may include industry PD such as conferences or events, licence upskilling including extension courses or formal accreditations. It may also include online learning or day-to-day professional development through your role as a current swimming and water safety teacher within a swim school or aquatic facility.
AUSTSWIM's online professional development modules are designed to keep you connected to current opportunities within the industry in order to further develop your career. Exclusive offers apply to current AUSTSWIM licence holders, however, our PD opportunities are open to all swimming and water safety teachers in the industry.
