Keep Your Cool at the Pool

To support the safety and wellbeing of staff working in aquatic facilities, Royal Life Saving Australia has launched the ‘Keep Your Cool at the Pool’ campaign, which sets clear behavioural expectations for patrons and calls for users of aquatic facilities to treat each other and staff respectfully.

 

Did you know that over 2,000 incidents of violence and aggression against staff occurred at aquatic facilities last year? Lifeguards and swim instructors are dedicated to keeping you safe, so let’s show them the respect they deserve. Here’s how you can help ensure a safer, more enjoyable pool experience:

  • Follow the instructions of lifeguards and swim instructors.
  • Always supervise your children.
  • Treat both staff and fellow swimmers with kindness and respect.

Together, we can make pools safe spaces for everyone. Safety starts with you.
