Aquatic Staff

All our aquatic staff are qualified in the area that they teach. The minimum for learn to swim teachers is the Austswim teacher course which also includes on-going training and updates. We also run regular in-house training for our staff to ensure that we have a quality, consistent teaching  process between all staff.

Swim and Survive

We also incorporate Royal Life Saving Society Swim & Survive  skill development protocols into our learn to swim program so that participants have an understanding of water safety as well as a high level of swimming skill.
