The Swimming and Water Safety Section (SWSS) offers a convenient and simple way for prospective swimming instructors to apply for work in the Interm and VacSwim swimming programs.

Please take a moment to read the following information on how to use the site.

NB:  Online Interm applications may only be made for Metropolitan centres.  Most country Interm applications may be made through a local primary school.  Online VacSwim applications may be made for all metropolitan and country centres.

• For instructors who have previously been employed by the Department, the system allows access to an account of your record by using your unique Department ID number, Surname and Date of Birth to log in. Once access has been granted you can choose to apply for Interm and/or VacSwim by selecting the appropriate path.  It is important that instructors who have worked in the VacSwim or Interm programs do not simply log in as this may duplicate your record.

• New instructors (those who have NOT previously been employed by the Department) can simply log in, choose an Interm metropolitan and/or VacSwim application and supply the required information.

All prospective swimming teachers are requested to supply hard or emailed copies of all new qualifications, updates to existing qualifications and current clearances (DET National Criminal History Record Check and a Working With Children Check) to the SWSS immediately after making an online application. Failure to do so may delay the processing of your application.

Once you have completed your online application/s please return to the Main Menu and Log out.

Please phone the VacSwim office on 9344 0966/55 or Interm on 93440944 for further information.
