Life Saving Victoria
Royal Life Saving has developed a number of PDF fact sheets on topics such as supervision, resuscitation and water awareness. These can be downloaded below.
Supervision is constant visual contact with your child. You should be
within arms’ reach and be in a position to respond quickly.
Restricting access means ensuring there is a barrier between your child
and a body of water.
Water awareness is a term which covers a range of strategies which can
help ensure your child’s safety when in, on, or around water.
Resuscitation involves establishing or maintaining an airway, breathing
and circulation.
Information for parents and carers on how to prevent their child from drowning at bath time.
A child safe play area is a carefully planned, secured, designated location to restrict access to water
There are many other aquatic areas around the home which present a threat to young children.
Home swimming pools are the most dangerous aquatic location for young children.
Pool toys, when left in and around the pool can attract the attention of children and draw them towards the pool.
Wading pools, also known as paddling pools, inflatable pools, portable pools and inflatable wading pools
While holidaying, you may experience aquatic environments you are unfamiliar with or that have changed since your last visit.
Swim and Survive is a national swimming and water safety initiative of
Royal Life Saving.
UV LIGHT kills bacteria, viruses, moulds & spores, even the ones that chlorine doesn’t, & it inactivates nasty by-products of chlorine.
By having the water at the same level as the surrounding floor, a wet deck pool prevents stale air being trapped at water level
We fully replace the air in our pool building with 100% fresh air many times each hour.
