ASSA Swimposium - WA

You Asked, We Listened – ASSA Swimposium is coming to Perth, WA.

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.
