LIFESAVING SPORT

Royal Life Saving has an established sport participation pathway that provides regular opportunities for lifesavers from community level to elite.

The sport of pool lifesaving tests a lifesaver’s skills in rescue, accident prevention and emergency care.

A key activity is the ‘Simulated Emergency’ which pits an individual or team of lifesavers against a staged emergency. Variations of this activity are used in all Royal Life Saving Programs.

Pool Lifesaving provides an opportunity to learn or refresh your resuscitation and rescue skills.

Participation
Learning and incorporating the skills of Pool Lifesaving into your current learn-to-swim program, fitness program or leisure activities is easy. Have one of the Royal Life Saving Sport Development Program Officers come out to your pool and teach you all the skills needed to run a successful program, from beginners (of all ages) through to the elite athlete.

Royal Life Saving Sport Grants are available to help get your Pool Lifesaving program started.
