Legend 🏊🏽‍♀

Dreams do come true. Heading into these Games my goal was to put together my best race in an Olympic final... And this morning it won me a bronze medal in the 100m freestyle. It's been a hell of a ride, but I could not be happier with the result. Congratulations to on taking out the win, it was an honour to share the podium with you. Looking forward to the 50m freestyle semis tomorrow morning 💪

We love seeing people setting goals and acheiving then, no matter what their age.

Summer is here, and like most of us, this mother loves spending a day at the beach with her family. But until recently, she didn’t know how to swim. She explains why she started lessons in her thirties, and how she’s determined to overcome her fear of swimming at Australian beaches.

Advice for Aquatic Industry and Swim Schools

In Royal Life Saving’s latest statement on the COVID-19 Pandemic, we map swimming and water safety programs and other aquatic activities to the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Framework for Rebooting Sport.

We put forward our case that swimming and water safety programs, especially those where the learner is confident, independent, and able to swim and maintain buoyancy unaided, should be included for consideration to a return alongside swimming sport and swimming club activities.

In this statement, we outline the feasibility of social distancing, and how this could be achieved in line with the AIS Framework.

Working with aquatic industry professionals, Royal Life Saving has released new guidelines on the risk management of COVID-19 in aquatic facilities.

As owners and operators look to re-open their businesses in the near future, this guidance provides a consolidated and consistent roadmap to managing the risks associated with COVID-19.

The new guidelines form part of the Guidelines for Safe Pool Operations (GSPO) and can be downloaded for free via https://bit.ly/2YZdlyS.
