A great pd session for our swim teachers

🎥 WATCH NOW | GSPO for Swim Schools Webinar

The Guidelines for Safe Pool Operation (GSPO) are recognised as one of the aquatic industry’s key safety benchmarks but understanding how they apply in day-to-day swim school operations can sometimes feel overwhelming.

In this recorded webinar, Marty Moran from Royal Life Saving Society - Australia breaks down the GSPO into practical, easy-to-understand guidance for swim school owners, managers, teachers and aquatic professionals.

✔️ Child safety
✔️ Aquatic supervision
✔️ Emergency planning
✔️ Risk management
✔️ Staff training + qualifications
✔️ Safe diving and unique water spaces

Plus, members receive access to a specially developed GSPO resource to help simplify and apply the guidelines in your facility.

Watch now and strengthen safety, compliance and confidence across your swim school. 💙

Happy Mothers Day ❤️

Today we celebrate the mums, grandmothers, and caregivers who are always looking out for the people they love.

For the reminders, the guidance, and the everyday moments of care that help keep families safe - especially around water. 💙

Thank you for everything you do. Happy Mother’s Day.

Definitely the right water safety message from The NT News 🐊Be Crocwise

In other parts of Australia you might have a friendly neighbourhood dog... here in the Top End we have friendly neighbourhood crocs... We wouldn't recommend having a swim with him though 🐊
