Lifesaving Training & Services
Since 1894 Royal Life Saving has been training Australians to be lifesavers. While the principles have not changed, we are now training people to use these lifesaving skills in a wide range of workplaces and communities.
Our key training programs include;
- Lifesaving and Lifeguarding
- Resuscitation (CPR) and Oxygen
- Defibrillation
- First Aid & Emergency Care
- AUSTSWIM (Swim Teacher)
- Pool Operations (Aquatic Supervision)
- Community Recreation
These programs are delivered by a professional group of employees and volunteers. They provide customer focused programs that foster training and skills that save lives and prevent accidents. Training is the cornerstone of our vision for a safe community.
Every year we train over 500,000 lifesavers. This includes pool lifeguards, pool managers, aquatic instructors, swim teachers and first aiders in workplaces across Australia, many of them young and just starting a career.
