26 enthusiastic instructors spent the day learning, networking and applying the skills covered across the course of the seminar.

Cyrus Milne followed suit teaching about Men's Multicultural Lessons and former Swim Teacher now disability expert, Vanessa Jessett focused on communication for people with a disability.

Following the excitement contained in the classroom, a delicious morning tea and lunch was provided for everyone to refuel before a jam-packed second session.

There was a healthy balance of wraps, sushi and fruit, but who could forget about the pastries and brownies, which kept people coming back for more.

Alicia detailed various rescue technique and tows, as well as defensive techniques and water safety sequences, which everyone is excited to start implementing in next term's lessons.

Professional development sessions are extremely valuable for our Swim Teachers and Trainers as they get to expand their skills and knowledge as well as share with others to enhance their own courses.
