Programs & Initiatives
Unique courses utilizing the latest and best teaching methods in the swimming industry.
As a project of Enigmatic Global, Global Swim embraces the 4 pillars upon which all projects of Enigmatic are built.
Aquatic Competence Training is exactly what it sounds like: training to support developing key skills and competencies in the water that will not only help participants to be safer, but also be able to enjoy the water. ACT recognised our diverse communities by providing flexibility in both skills focus and themes, allowing participants to embrace the aspects of aquatics they like most. Global Swim uses the international Starfish Aquatics program as its foundation for ACT, allowing the delivery of quality training to participants of any age and at any stage of their aquatic competence journey. Customised delivery address many aspects of diversity, including culture and language.
