AUSTSWIM launches ‘168 Hours for Water Safety’ campaign

AUSTSWIM launches ‘168 Hours for Water Safety’ campaign
November 27, 2024

To celebrate National Water Safety Day, AUSTSWIM is launching the ‘168 Hours for Water Safety’ campaign, a one-week initiative offering 20% off all AUSTSWIM courses.

Running from tomorrow Thursday 28th November to Thursday 5th December, this campaign aims to address the growing demand for licensed swimming and water safety teachers and enhance the quality of water safety education across Australia.

The Importance of Water Safety
As water-related incidents continue to rise and the first day of summer is on the horizon the need for skilled swimming and water safety teachers is more critical than ever. By expanding Australia’s swim teacher workforce, AUSTSWIM is working to create safer communities and ensure access to high-quality swimming and water safety education.

AUSTSWIM General Manager, Georgie Nichol explained "swimming and water safety start with us. This National Water Safety Day, we’re calling on communities to join our mission.

“By enrolling in an AUSTSWIM course during our 168-hours campaign, you can play a part in ensuring safer swimming for all.

“We believe quality swim teachers save lives."

Aspiring teachers, swim schools, and water safety advocates are invited to take part in this initiative by enrolling in an AUSTSWIM course during the promotional period.
