Summary: "This manual represents the next step in AUSTSWIM's commitment to continuous improvement and quality outcomes and as such represents a significant step forward in providing an enhanced experience for students.

The topics deemed necessary for learning all aspects of teaching swimming and water safety are covered by this manual. While these skills are being developed, every opportunity is taken to impart water safety knowledge, to reduce the likelihood of aquatic incidents, including drownings.
