National Coaching Framework

A New Era for Swim Coaching in Australia is Coming

Swimming Australia is proud to announce the upcoming launch of the Swimming Australia National Coaching Framework (SANCF)—a revolutionary new approach to coaching that will shape the future of our sport. Rolling out in September 2025, this framework will elevate coaching education, development, and support across all levels, from grassroots to high performance.

Why This Matters
Coaching is at the heart of Australian swimming success. The SANCF will provide an inclusive and structured pathway for all coaches, ensuring they have access to the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to thrive in their careers. This framework is designed to enhance professional growth, drive performance outcomes, increase connection for coaches and increase support to coaches in leading the next generation of Australian swimmers to success.

What to Expect

  • A new national coaching structure that supports learning and career progression.
  • The launch of the Australian Swim Coach Licence—a system designed to recognise, support, and elevate coaching standards nationwide.
  • SPLASH Hub, a world-first e-learning and coaching support platform, providing access to tools, education, and networking opportunities.
  • A focus on inclusivity, well-being, and professional excellence, ensuring all coaches are supported throughout their careers.
