Swim Australia™ Foundation Coach
The Swim Australia™ Foundation Coach (SAFC) (formerly known as Swim Australia Teacher of Competitive Swimming) will be competent to deliver basic swimming squad sessions that develop the swimming technique of novice Swimmers – this is generally defined as Swimmers who are recent “Learn to Swim” Graduates and are in the likes of a “mini squad” (usually around 10-years and under) and still acquiring the skills needed to transition into competition.
This Course is endorsed by the peak sporting body in Australia for swimming – Swimming Australia – as the entry level course for the swimming coaching accreditation pathway.
Teachers who have held the SAFC qualification for 6 months or longer are eligible to undertake the Development Coach (previously Bronze) course. Holding current Swimming Australia coach accreditation is the minimum requirement for coaching competitive squads within swimming clubs or other facilities and to be able to coach on pool deck at swim meets.
All enrolled Swim Australia course students are covered by SCTI Insurance for the duration of their course and will receive complimentary Graduate SCTA Membership and Insurance for the length of accreditation (3 years), upon being accredited.*
