Swimsafe instructors

Each year, our team of around 400 instructors deliver Swimsafe programs all over the state. This area is designed to help our instructors develop professionally and communicate effectively with us.

Applying to become a Swimsafe instructor

Last year approximately 15,000 people attended a Swimsafe program at 230 pools around the state. This coming summer, we are running programs during school time, after school and during school holidays between October and March.

Applications are now being accepted to work for Swimsafe in the upcoming season. Call 13 13 02 for more information.

Don’t forget you need to update your resuscitation qualifications every twelve months!
