The Australian Swim Coach Licence is the single national credential that recognises coaches who meet Swimming Australia’s standards for education, integrity, safety, and professional conduct. As part of the SANCF, the licence ensures consistency and trust across our sport – providing clubs, families, and swimmers with confidence that their coach is suitably qualified, meets compliance expectations, and is committed to ongoing development.
Australian Licenced Swim Coaches receive a range of benefits, including access to a world class training and resource hub, SPLASH Hub. The Hub, designed by coaches, for coaches, comprises professional learning, coaching resources, integrity support, compliance guidance, and clearer pathways into advanced and performance coaching. The licence is renewed annually and reflects our commitment to maintaining safe, positive, and high-quality environments for all participants in Australian competitive swimming.
In this section, you’ll find information about licence features, integrity requirements, activation and renewal processes, and the support services available to licenced coaches. The Australian Swim Coach Licence is more than a credential; it is a commitment to excellence in coaching.
