Connection That Drives Growth

SPARK 2026 brings Swimschoolers together for three days of sharp thinking, real connection and practical growth. Walk away with ideas you can apply immediately across your team, your programs and your business.

This is where knowledge becomes action, and where conversations turn into lasting relationships. Set on the Gold Coast at QT, the experience blends energy, insight and a relaxed atmosphere that makes every moment count.

Be in the room to hear leading voices, panels and nationally acclaimed keynotes you would rarely access, sharing thinking that will shape the future of learn to swim and aquatic leadership.

Once a year. Worth every moment.
