Education
We are committed to providing education across the aquatic sector. We achieve this by delivering swim teacher training utilising AUSTSWIM courses and qualifications, our Registered Swim Schools Programme to set an industry standard, and water testing training for pool operators around Aotearoa. We also provide education for our technical officials and swim coaches.
Registered Swim School Programme
We have developed the Swimming NZ Registered Swim School Programme to provide Swim School operators with an industry recognised accreditation that signals their acceptance and achievement of a set of minimum standards that are a positive step towards improving the quality and safety of Swim Schools in New Zealand. The programme highlights our commitment to ensuring that anyone wanting to learn to swim can do so in a safe and trusted environment.

AUSTSWIM Teacher
One of the most important life skills is learning to swim. You can help Kiwis gain this crucial skill by becoming a swim teacher. Swim teaching is an exciting and fulfilling career or pastime. The role of a swim teacher is to pass on the aquatic skills and knowledge needed to be confident and familiar with the water, enabling participation in the sport of swimming and other aquatic activities.
