Aquatic safety - lessons from summer 2025/26

Join experts from Royal Life Saving WA and LGIS for a session on aquatic safety. We’ll look at the 2025/26 summer season the successes and challenges and look at what can be learned for the 2026/27 season.
Unfortunately, when things go wrong in and around the water, they can go very wrong. In recent years there have been several drownings and near drowning incidents at local government aquatic facilities.
It’s crucial that local governments adopt proactive measures to manage aquatic centre risk and that identified hazards are addressed quickly, within the constraints of time and resources.
