Accredited Swim Schools
From the 1st June 2012, Registered Swim Schools were able to apply to become Swim Australia Accredited Swim Schools. To achieve this status, Swim Schools must pass more comprehensive and higher level standards. This ranges across the likes of teaching-learning, facilities, staff development and management practices.
Due to the nature of the assessment, it will take Swim Schools some considerable time to reach a positive outcome. Once Swim Schools have had a reasonable period to achieve Accreditation status, Swim Australia will be recognising same via the likes of this website.
From there, Accredited Swim Schools will have the option of applying to become a ‘Swim School of Excellence’ in various categories; including ‘SwimSAFER’, ‘SwimECO’ and ‘Teaching-Learning’.
