The Australian Swim Schools Association (ASSA) is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to enhancing the learn-to-swim and water safety industry in Australia. Its primary focus is on supporting swim schools through professional development, advocacy, and resources. ASSA works to ensure high standards in swim education by promoting the SAFER swimming initiative, which emphasises multiple layers of protection to reduce drowning risks.
ASSA also highlights the importance of consistent swimming lessons to build essential aquatic skills, particularly for children. They collaborate with various stakeholders, including educators, parents, and industry experts, to promote inclusivity and accessibility in swim programs. Their activities include national conferences, recognition programs, and the development of training resources to improve the quality and reach of swim education across the country.
With a shared commitment to accessibility and inclusion Para Mobility have been working with ASSA for many years. We have the joint goal of wanting to set a benchmark for inclusive aquatic environments, ensuring that people of all abilities can enjoy the physical, mental, and social benefits of swimming.
