This course is designed for current swimming and water safety teachers, or physical education teachers, who wish to extend their expertise into lifesaving. It is also suitable for teachers seeking recognised professional development hours with AUSTSWIM and Royal Life Saving.
The course consists of a self-paced online component and an optional face-to-face component. The program contributes approximately 2 hours of recognised professional development for AUSTSWIM and Royal Life Saving swim teacher licence schemes.
Participants must meet the following requirements before enrolment:
Minimum age of 16 years
Current CPR Certificate (HLTAID009 / equivalent superseded unit)
Current Working With Children Check (relevant to your state/territory)
Current Royal Life Saving membership
Learners complete interactive online modules that include knowledge checks, practical teaching applications, and reflective exercises. The optional face-to-face component involves delivering lifesaving lessons under supervision, where participants demonstrate their ability to apply course content in practice.
On successful completion, participants will receive the Teacher of Lifesaving Award.
The Guidelines for Safe Pool Operations (GSPO) recommend that specialist swim teacher accreditations, including the Teacher of Lifesaving, are renewed every three years. Please also refer to specific industry standards and guidelines.
