Swim School Survey Findings
AUSTSWIM undertook a survey of AUSTSWIM Recognised Swim Schools from metropolitan and regional locations nationally with the aim of providing some simple and effective solutions to the current teacher shortages.
AUSTSWIM is delighted to present this Information Kit as a resource to
AUSTSWIM Recognised Swim Schools to help gain a greater understanding of the issues faced by Swim Schools.
We hope this information kit provides some guidance and direction to aquatic facilities involved in the management and operations of swimming and water safety programmes.
