Promoting Quality Swimming Lessons
and Swim School Standards

Launched in 1997 by the Federal Minister for Sport and Recreation, Swim Australia’s mission is to develop "learn to swim" in Australia to its full potential; resulting in all Australians learning to swim and gaining water safety knowledge through safe and enjoyable swimming lessons.

To this end, Swim Australia:

• Registers Swim Schools that meet industry standards as determined by ASCTA,
• Promotes the many excellent benefits of learning to swim and water safety, and
• Provides the Swim Australia Registered Swim Schools with products, services and professional development programs to significantly enhance their operation.

Swim Australia is a division of the Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association, a non-profit organization. Swim Australia is endorsed by Swimming Australia Ltd and the Federal Government’s Active Australia.
