SWIM Jobs Victoria Makes Waves: A Safer Summer for Victorian Kids

In a significant stride toward water safety, SWIM Jobs Victoria, a collaborative effort between SWIM Coaches & Teachers Australia and Jobs Victoria, has marked a triumphant success, ensuring a safer summer for Victorian families.
 
The partnership celebrated its achievements on National Water Safety Day, revealing impressive statistics that underscore the program's impact. A remarkable 14,478 extra swimming lessons have been created, with 446 individuals acquiring swim teacher qualifications. Importantly, 369 people have been successfully placed in employment within swim schools across the state.
 
As Victoria grappled with a 26% increase in drowning deaths last year, SWIM Jobs Victoria responded proactively. President Joanne Love expressed her delight, stating that the program surpassed all expectations.
 
"SWIM Jobs Victoria significantly revitalised the aquatic sector after covid impacted the industry so heavily. Fast forward a year, and the industry is celebrating hundreds of new careers, enhanced business efficiency for close to 100 aquatic facilities, and is fundamentally contributing to lifesaving efforts," said Joanne Love.
 
The streamlined hiring process of SWIM Jobs Victoria proved to be a game-changer for businesses. Candidates were well-vetted and eager; seamlessly integrating into their teams, bringing immeasurable time and cost savings.
 
Further supporting these positive outcomes, a program evaluation by Victoria University emphasized the broad social, economic, mental, physical health, and community benefits derived from SWIM Jobs Victoria.
 
As the success stories continue to unfold, SWIM Jobs Victoria stands as a beacon of progress in the pursuit of water safety, fostering not only careers but also the well-being of communities across Victoria.
