AUSTSWIM reveals sustainability initiative

AUSTSWIM is continuing its move towards integrating sustainability into its training courses, announcing that it is moving its course training manuals online as a part of a Net Zero plan to reduce its carbon footprint.

Explaining the move, AUSTSWIM Chief Executive Bradley Low said “we are gradually moving AUSTSWIM to a paperless organisation to reduce our impact on the environment and also give us the opportunity to reduce the cost of our courses.

“As AUSTSWIM moves into the next step of its Net carbon footprint plan we are proud to announce that this will result in a reduction of course fees for our Teacher of Swimming and Water Safety courses by $10 across the country”.

“We are reducing process cycle times, reducing wastage, paper use, printing, improving the quality of products and services, and reducing costs. It’s a win, win for everyone”

This development comes after industry and student consultation, and with further developments in our digital transformation coming to fruition, this is a big step that is set to enhance the online experience for every digital visitor to AUSTSWIM online.

AUSTSWIM remains focused on delivering courses that exceed the minimum industry standards and continues to set the bar for the industry and work towards its vision of having every Australasian taught by an AUSTSWIM Licenced Teacher.

What’s a carbon footprint?
The amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of the activities of a particular individual, organization, or community. People, products, and entire industries have carbon footprints. Your personal footprint includes emissions from a variety of sources, including your daily trip to work, the food you eat, the clothes you buy and everything you throw away.

The larger your footprint, the heavier the strain on the environment.
