ASSA Swimposium - QLD
Event description
You Asked, We Listened – ASSA Swimposium is coming to Brisbane, Qld.
For the past two years, Educators Day at the ASSA Conference has been a standout event for
swim school professionals. Now, we’re taking it on the road and giving it a fresh new name—welcome
to Swimposium.
Designed by swim schools, for swim schools, Swimposium is a full-day
event packed with practical learning, industry insights, and professional development to help you and your
team deliver even better lessons and teach more people to swim.
We know how important convenient, cost-effective ongoing training is—that’s why we’re
bringing this must-attend event to Canberra, Brisbane, Sydney, Perth,
Adelaide, Auckland, and Melbourne. No need for flights, extra accommodation, or multiple days away from
your swim school—just a focused, high-impact day of learning that fits your schedule.
