Information on the 2020 International Swim School Spectacular will follow.

The Australian Swim Schools Association (ASSA) has created a world first, pulling together four events to be based around its annual National Conference in 2018 on the Gold Coast. As with its inaugural event in 2016, ASSA will be partnering with the biennial Splash! Expo – being held on 1st and 2nd August, with the Australian Swim Schools Conference leading into it from the 30th July to 1st August 2018.

2018 will also see the Swim Schools event followed on the 1st and 3rd August by ISSA’s World Infant Aquatics Conference – the world’s leading event covering the teaching of infants and toddlers to swim. This brings together the leading exponents of teaching babies and toddlers swimming and water safety skills from around the globe. The focus will not only be on skill development, but also the many cognitive, social and emotional benefits accruing from quality early years swimming – as evidenced in the four year Griffith University study.

The fourth event in 2018 will be a Tour of Swim Schools in Sydney, for overseas visitors, preceding the Conferences. This will provide an excellent guided opportunity to take in a number of premier Swim Schools and the great city itself. A post Conferences Tour of Brisbane and its Swim Schools is also being considered.
