Why Choose AUSTSWIM Teachers™?

“It is so important for kids to learn to swim and survive in the water. AUSTSWIM teachers™ have the training to teach water safety and swimming to all ages”.

AUSTSWIM (The Australian Council for the Teaching of Swimming and Water Safety™) was established in 1979 with the prime purpose of developing a sound educational foundation for the teaching of swimming and water safety™.

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.
