775a1015-94ca-47c4-ba7e-694fd3c58018 National Sport Plan Released in 2018, the Sport 2030 National Sport Plan pursues the principle of ‘sport and physical activity for all, for life’. It promotes the notion that every Australian, at all stages of their life, can undertake the exercise they need and want in a safe, fun, and inclusive way, whether it is through sport or other types of activity. Importantly, The Sport 2030 National Sport Plan frames swimming as a skill for life, essential to all Australians due to our love of the water and our environment. The plan states that every Australian child must have access to basic swimming and water safety skill education and knowledge of how to be safe when they are in, on, or around water. It cites the Royal Life Saving Society’s benchmark is that a child should be able to be buoyant in the water for at least 50 metres to save themselves. The plan expresses concerns about falls in mandatory learn to swim program in schools, and cost of living pressures meaning families are not prioritising learning to swim. This results in many children will leave primary school this year without the swimming and water safety skills and knowledge they will need to be safe around water for the rest of their lives. https://www.sportaus.gov.au/nationalsportplan/home Related Industry Research Royal Life Saving advocacy, programs, products and services are underpinned by research and a commitment to continual improvement.

Supervision Validation AssessmentSupervision is deployed in aquatic facilities with the purpose of reducing the level of risk in an inherently risky environment. < Back Supervision Validation Assessment Aquatic Services > Local Water Safety Planning > Safety Equipment > Aquatic Facility Safety Assessment > Facility Design Assessment > Mystery Guest Assessment > Supervision Validation Assessment > Signage Assessment > Emergency Action Plans > Operations Manuals > Aquatic Consultancy > Incident Investigation > Inland Waterway Safety Assessment Risk Enquiries Login to GSPO Supervision is deployed in aquatic facilities with the purpose of reducing the level of risk in an inherently risky environment. Lifeguards play a vital role in preventing incidents through patron education, pool space management and rule enforcement. They are also relied upon to be the first responder in the event of any emergency. The supervision plan of every aquatic facility should vary significantly depending on context. A one size fits all supervision plan is unlikely to be effective across most aquatic facilities. For a supervision plan to be effective and deliver on expectation, it is vital that the operator adopts a systematic approach to the development and review of the strategies used and measures their effectiveness through external review by an appropriately qualified third-party, such as Royal Life Saving. In evaluating the system of supervision, Royal Life Saving adopts risk management principles to ensure the deployment of supervision is planned and targeted to manage risk and provide an appropriate standard of safety specific to the facility, while reflecting information provided in the Guidelines for Safe Pool Operation.
