Swim Coaches and Teachers Australia’s SWIMCON23 to return in September

Swim Coaches and Teachers Australia has announced that SWIMCON, its education and networking conference, will return to the Gold Coast again this year from 16th to 20th September.

Combining with the International Federation of Swim Teachers’ Associations (IFSTA) world conference, the conference, dubbed SWIMCON SUPERNOVA will provide opportunities for the swim community to reconnect, cultivate coaching and teaching skills through professional development sessions and to celebrate the achievements of industry peers at SCTA’s Awards Dinner.

Being held at The STAR, Gold Coast, keynote speakers include Olympic swimming legend Duncan Armstrong OAM, Channel 9 Media Personality and parenting expert Dr Justin Coulson and best-selling author and motivational speaker Kim Morrison.

The program will also feature Australia's top coaches who will have just returned from the World Swimming and World Para Swimming Championships, Waverley City Council Chief Lifeguard and Float to Survive advocate Bruce ‘Hoppo’ Hopkins from Bondi Rescue and legendary swim coach Laurie Lawerence from Kids Alive do the Five.

Expanded to five days of action opportunities - growing from its previous four days - with conference speakers, course education, swim school tours and elite coaches, with popular Power Coaches stream will also feature as its own add-on activity. 

Traditionally held on the last day of the conference, the change in scheduling of Power Coaches, now allows delegates the opportunity to not miss any vital conference presentations and speakers.

Formerly known as ASCTACON, the event is separate to Swimming Australia's former SwimCon event.
