For teachers

Rainbow Club is a network of social swimming clubs located throughout Sydney and NSW operating on weekends during the school term. Our Swim the Rainbow program is specially designed to teach children with a disability using structure, reward and progress in a social, fun and supportive aquatic environment.

For our swim teachers and potential new teachers, Rainbow Club provides resources, inpool equipment and professional development training to ensure you are equipped and trained to provide the optimum service. We have a friendly social calendar with fun opportunities to connect with other Rainbow Clubs and teachers.

Our online Teacher Central portal allows teachers to quickly see their schedule, access information about disabilities, and easily complete reporting.
