A fantastic day of collaboration in Western Australia! 👏

AUSTSWIM was proud to join SWIM Coaches and Teachers Australia and Royal Life Saving Society WA for the 2026 Western Australia Joint Trainer Workshop.

Bringing trainer educators from across all three organisations together for six hours of professional development, the workshop was a great opportunity to share knowledge, strengthen connections and continue building excellence across aquatic education.

A great example of what can be achieved when our industry comes together to support the people who develop our workforce.

Trainer educators from across Western Australia came together yesterday for the 2026 Western Australia Joint Trainer Workshop, delivered in partnership by SWIM Coaches and Teachers Australia, AUSTSWIM and Royal Life Saving Society WA.
