We all witnessed the tragedy unfold early this year as towns across Northern NSW were inundated with unprecedented rain fall causing a one in 1000-year flood. The community continues to endure the aftermath of this disaster however the shining light through this devastation has been the comradery, community and sense of giving from all Australians. Royal Life Saving and our aquatic apparel partner Badge of Honour donated outdoor jackets to staff at Richmond Valley Aquatics and Lismore City Council to assist in their ongoing flood recovery works within these severely impacted communities. Chief Operations Office of Badge of Honour, Sally Snow was keen to assist with the provision of resources for the teams working on the ground. “This is really just a small gesture of appreciation for the efforts and the work they are doing to get these flood-stricken communities back on their feet” Ms Snow said. Facilities at Woodburn and Coraki in Richmond Valley and Lismore Memorial Baths were underwater and the ongoing clean up and repair work is underway. Teams at both pools provided immediate assistance where both Coraki and Goonellabah Sports and Aquatic Centre in the Lismore LGA were set up as evacuation centres and food pantry sites. Jason Phillips, RLS Regional Manager meet with local pool managers and staff to present the jackets and say thank you on behalf of Badge of Honour. “Our local swimming pools are often the hub of community activity and engagement, especially in small towns and villages. Some of these pools were hit extremely hard during these flood events, with staff having to deal with not only the clean-up, but the reactivation of business as well as supporting the local community during this disaster” Mr Phillips said. Floods continue to impact parts of Australia, it’s important to be informed and have a plan to stay safe.

Swim Brothers is a male only Swimming Program founded by Co-founders Omar and Feroz, after hearing the story of a near-drowning of a prominent leader in their community and his son whilst on a camping trip at Seven Mile beach in October 2019. As a result of this incident, Omar and Feroz launched Swim Brothers – a culturally sensitive learn to swim and ocean skills & safety program for all Men with an emphasis on those most vulnerable. On a cold wet Saturday night in June, a group of 60 men braved the weather to attend an event coordinated by Swim Brothers at Auburn Ruth Everuss Aquatic Centre. Royal Life Saving NSW together with Surf Life Saving NSW, collaborated with Swim Brothers to arrange an evening to educate participants about key water safety strategies that will help them stay safe around water. The men were educated on making good decisions around water, identifying water dangers and rip currents, as well as practical demonstrations on how to provide assistance to someone in trouble. Participants also learnt some basic CPR skills and practiced putting those to good use before enjoying a BBQ and some socialising time around the pool. This initiative is a terrific example of organisations working together to educate and upskill the more vulnerable members of our community in vital water safety and lifesaving skills.
