BE POOL SAFE | Small pools, silent risks — active supervision and safe barriers save young lives. BE POOL SAFE Small pools, silent risks — active supervision and safe barriers save young lives. At Royal Life Saving, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow up safe around water. In Australia, pools are a valued part of family life — a place for fun, connection and cooling off — but for young children, they can also pose a serious and silent risk. The Be Pool Safe campaign focuses on preventing drowning and near-drowning incidents among children aged 0–4 years , particularly in backyard swimming pools and portable or inflatable pools , where the majority of early-childhood drownings occur. Tragically, children under five remain one of the highest-risk groups for drowning in Australia. Most of these incidents happen quickly, quietly, and close to home — often during short lapses in supervision, or when pool barriers, gates, or covers are missing, faulty, or not used correctly. Portable and inflatable pools add further risk, as they are often set up temporarily, left unattended, or not treated with the same safety controls as permanent pools. The Be Pool Safe campaign encourages parents, carers and families to take simple but critical actions to keep young children safe around pools. These include maintaining effective pool fencing and self-closing gates, actively supervising children at all times, removing distractions, and ensuring portable pools are emptied, secured, or fenced when not in use. Research consistently shows that supervision alone is not enough. Drowning can occur in seconds, which is why layers of protection — including physical barriers and preparedness — are essential. Learning CPR, knowing how to respond in an emergency, and understanding the specific risks posed by backyard and portable pools can save a life. Every pool, no matter how small or temporary, carries risk. A moment of inattention can have lifelong consequences. By raising awareness, promoting safer pool practices, and supporting families with practical guidance, Be Pool Safe aims to reduce preventable drownings and give children the safest possible start to life around water. Because when it comes to young children and pools — there are no second chances .

ARE YOU SWIM READY? | Before you jump in check out your local Aquatic Centre. When it comes to safety, socialising and support there's no better place. ARE YOU SWIM READY? Before you jump in check out your local Aquatic Centre. When it comes to safety, socialising and support there's no better place. Australians aged 45 years and over are being encouraged to consult their doctor before enjoying the health benefits of swimming to prevent drowning deaths involving people with pre-existing conditions. Royal Life Saving New South Wales (NSW) together with the NSW Government launched the Swim Ready initiative to educate and raise awareness among people aged over 45 years about the link between the use of medication and an increased risk of drowning. Over the past 17 years, 843 people aged 45 years and over lost their lives to drowning in NSW. Of these, 55% involved people with pre-existing conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, mental health and dementia. All medication has possible side effects that can have an impact on exercise. This can put people at higher risk of drowning when participating in aquatic activities. For example, dizziness, fainting, chest pain, headaches, confusion, blurred vision and muscle pain, can all affect a person’s capacity to stay safe in water. “More and more Australians are enjoying the health benefits of swimming later in life. Our Swim Ready initiative highlights our commitment to encouraging active lifestyles while ensuring everyone stays safe while they are in the water.” Michael Ilinsky, Chief Executive Officer, Royal Life Saving NSW. BE SWIM READY - BEFORE YOU JUMP IN: Chat to your doctor about your health Consider the effects of any medication you are taking And remember it’s safer to swim in a supervised area When it comes to safety, socialising and support there’s no better plan than swimming at your local Aquatic Centre. Swim Ready Partners As a Royal Life Saving Partner we value Aquatic Centres promoting our Swim Ready message and working together to make everyone safe around water.
