We are well and truly into the National Australian Swim Schools Association (ASSA) Conference. Yesterday was a super day focused on the teachers and educators in our industry. The feedback has been amazing and was such a great start! Then, last night we raised the roof of the Lucky Squire in Broadbeach, the energy and buzz was something else! Thanks to Vorgee for sponsoring the welcome drinks. What a vibrant community we have - I enjoyed meeting so many people and hearing many stories. Day 1 of the Business of Swim Schools component of our week has been fantastic, this morning we heard from Cherie Canning in an engaging, emotional and entertaining session, our expo has been full of conversation. The room is now a buzz as James Castrission takes us through a fantastic workshop. There is so much more to come! #assa2024
