Royal Life Saving announces new partnership program for swim schools
With droughts, fires and COVID-19 have impacted the swim school sector over the past few years, resulting in loss in income, staffing and financial support, Royal Life Saving NSW/ACT and Tasmania has launched a new partnership program to help swim schools get back on their feet and get aspiring swimmers into their pools.
Advising that, while resilient, the aquatic industry has only just pulled through these challenges, Craig Roberts, General Manager - Drowning Prevention and Education at Royal Life Saving NSW/ACT and Tasmania, explains “our Swim School Partnership is a hub of people, resources, and offerings brought together to give you everything you need to build and deliver successful solutions for you and/or your customers.
“The new Swim School Partnership extends on the work with the National Swimming and Water Safety Framework to deliver a Swim Teacher Development Framework and a Swim School Excellence Framework and a range of supporting resources so that Swim Schools have what they need at their fingertips.”
Backed by Government, the Swim School Partnership also offer aquatic facilities the opportunity to take advantage of the new recently revitalised Swim and Survive Program from Royal Life Saving.
The Online and innovative solution provides swim schools with access to:
Free and heavily discounted Swim Teacher Courses
The new Swim School Excellence Guideline
