October 25, 2022

AUSTSWIM, the pre-eminent provider of swimming and water safety teacher training, has announced the national winners of its AUSTSWIM Awards of Excellence.

The premier awards presented to individuals and organisations in Australia that achieve the highest standards of aquatic education excellence, the national AUSTSWIM Awards of Excellence recognise brilliance, commitment, and innovation in the teaching of swimming and water safety.

The awards were officially presented to each recipient by AUSTSWIM Ambassador Brooke Hanson and AUSTSWIM Chief Executive, Brad Low during the recent AUSTSWIM ‘Rise With Us’ breakfast events held across Australia for AUSTSWIM licensed teachers.

Commenting on the Awards, Low explained “the AUSTSWIM Awards of Excellence are the pinnacle of recognition for swimming and water safety educators. I congratulate each of this year’s national winners and recognise the exceptional contribution that each recipient, along with all the nominees, make to the aquatic industry and their continued dedication and commitment to the wider community.

“With over 33,000 licensed AUSTSWIM teachers and over 800 AUSTSWIM Recognised Swim Schools across the country, AUSTSWIM and all its representatives provide a real and tangible service by providing an essential link in drowning prevention and safer aquatic participation.”

The Awards honour AUSTSWIM teachers, presenters, swim centres, and programs who have each been outstanding in their field as well as those individuals that make a significant contribution to swimming and water safety.
