Start your coaching journey by enrolling in the Australian Swim Coach Course (currently referred to as the Development Coaching Course). This course is the national entry point into the Swimming Australia National Coaching Framework (SANCF) and is designed to equip you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to begin coaching safely and effectively.

Courses are delivered across Australia through a combination of online learning, and in-person practical workshops. With options available year-round, you can choose the location and date that best suits your schedule.

Use the calendar below to explore all upcoming courses and click the Book Now button to secure your place.

*To support current swim coaches to upskill to the minimum course requirement, Swimming Australia is offering 20% off all Development Coaching Course enrolments from Monday 17th December 2025 until Tuesday 31st March 2026.  – To receive this discount, candidates must enrol before Tuesday 31st March and complete the course before December 2026. For example, a candidate can enrol into the course in February for a course taking place in July and still receive the discount.

Please note: Enrolments for upcoming courses are now open. Early enrolment is encouraged, as places often fill quickly.

If your club, school or swim school is interested in hosting a course at your own venue, see further information below or contact our team via coaching@swimming.org.au.
