This summer, like all those before it, we see thousands of Australians of all ages and with varying degrees of skill taking to the water to stay cool in the summer heat.
We have been working with our owners this last year to get pool safety up to date before the enforceable changes to the legislation in April 2015 and are continuing to do so. There are always going to be risks associated with water activity so we urge all parents to watch their kids with vigilance while they are in the water these holidays, and make sure you are aware of the safety instructions in your pool area.
Some key essential pool safety facts can be found here on the royal lifesaving website.
