The Australian Swim Schools Association (ASSA) has announced that, from today, it is opening foundation membership opportunities for swim teachers, pool staff and educators to join a network of like-minded professionals through their newly launched Associate Member program.

Active from 24th January, the program has been designed as a professional resource for those employed in the aquatic and education sectors who are not business owners to upskill in customer engagement, health and wellbeing, sensory development and marketing and will offer local and international research presentations that are available to view through the member portal.

ASSA General Manager, Emily McNeill says the Associate Members will also have the ability to build their industry network through education and professional development opportunities, including webinars and workshops, which is crucial in a time where finding and keeping staff is difficult.

ASSA is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to enhance the learn to swim and water safety industry, through its network of Member Swim Schools. ASSA is solely focused on Swim Schools and is the only body in Australia with a constitution where Swim Schools are the voting members.

ASSA has also confirmed that its 2022 annual conference will be held on the Gold Coast from 21st to 23rd June.

ASSA foundation memberships are available via www.australianswimschools.org.au/swimschool-membership
