Last week, we partnered with Surf Life Saving SA and Austswim SA to deliver the 2026 SA Aquatic Conference and Awards.

The event recognised the facilities, programs and people driving South Australia's aquatic industry forward - our lifeguards, swim teachers and swim schools among them.

Our own Michelle Williams presented the awards for Pool Employee of the Year and Community Aquatic Program of the Year. Congratulations to all winners and nominees, your work sets the standard for the sector. 🏆

Keynote speakers Sam Fricker and Mark Mathews shared sharp insights on social media strategy, resilience and the power of gratitude. Our workshop sessions brought the industry together to share ideas and voice real challenges and successes.

Thank you to principal sponsor YMCA SA, and event day sponsors BlueFit Group, SWIM Coaches & Teachers Australia, Belgravia Leisure and Clubs SA.

Our team had a great day, we hope yours did too!

On Saturday 25 July 2026, venues across South Australia lit up blue in support of World Drowning Prevention Day 💙

A heartfelt thank you to all the incredible venues that joined the movement. It was inspiring to see our community unite to turn the tide on drowning.

Tragically, drowning claims the lives of more than 300,000 people worldwide each year. In Australia, hundreds of lives are lost, leaving families, friends and communities forever changed.

Every action, no matter how small, can help prevent drowning. Because anyone can drown, but no one should.

Drowning is a global issue. Together, we can change that.

Every year, drowning claims more than 300,000 lives – that's 30 lives every hour. Nearly one in four of those lost are children under five years of age.

More than 90% of drowning deaths occur in rivers, lakes, wells, domestic water storage vessels and swimming pools in low- and middle-income countries, with children and adolescents in rural communities disproportionately affected.

This World Drowning Prevention Day, the World Health Organization is calling on us all to Unite to Turn the Tide on Drowning.

The Global Strategy for Drowning Prevention has one ambitious goal: reduce drowning by 35% by 2035.

Achieving this will take all of us. Governments, communities, organisations and individuals each have a role to play in preventing drowning and ensuring more people can enjoy the water safely.

Together, we can turn the tide on drowning.

Because anyone can drown, but no one should.

Today is World Drowning Prevention Day.

Today, communities across Australia and around the world are coming together to Unite to Turn the Tide on Drowning.

We pause to remember the hundreds of lives lost to drowning each year, and the families, friends and communities forever changed. The good news is that drowning is preventable. By taking simple actions and working together, we can help save lives.

Here are just a few ways you can make a difference:

🏊 Enrol in swimming and water safety lessons
👀 Actively supervise children around water
🔎 Check your pool fence and gate
🛟 Wear a lifejacket when boating, fishing or paddling
❌ Avoid alcohol and drugs around water
🌦 Know the conditions before you head out
❤️ Learn CPR and be prepared to respond in an emergency
👩‍🏫 Become a swim teacher or pool lifeguard and help others stay safe

Together, these actions help create safer communities and turn the tide on drowning.

Because anyone can drown, but no one should.

World Drowning Prevention Day 2026 is coming.

On 25 July, communities across Australia and around the world will unite to turn the tide on drowning.

Drowning doesn’t have a single cause, or a single solution. But it can be prevented. Drowning is an issue that affects every nation of the world.

Globally, more than 300,000 people lose their lives to drowning every year. Drowning predominately impacts children and young people, with more than nine in 10 deaths occurring in low and middle-income countries, highlighting that vulnerable communities are most at risk.

From aquatic centres and swim schools to community groups, schools and families - everyone has a role to play in helping prevent drowning and promote water safety.

Together, we can help ensure more people enjoy the water safely - because anyone can drown, no one should.
