Watch Around Water
  
 
The aquatic and recreation industry has expressed concern regarding the supervision of children at public aquatic facilities. To address this issue ‘Watch Around Water’ has been developed to educate the public about adequate supervision and to encourage parent/guardians to take on this responsibility when visiting a public aquatic facility.
 
‘Watch Around Water’ has been successfully implemented in facilities in Western Australia and was introduced to South Australia last year.  Aquatics & Recreation Victoria and Life Saving Victoria jointly promote and deliver this initiative in Victoria with the support from the ‘Play it Safe by the Water’ campaign.
 
‘Watch Around Water’ is a very valuable and worthwhile program that will benefit every facility in Victoria.  ARV, along with Life Saving Victoria would also like to acknowledge Leisure Institute of WA Aquatics (LIWA) and Royal Life Saving Western Australia who developed this program.
 
The 'Watch Around Water' program is a comprehensive approach which includes five key components.  Click on the downloadable links to the right of screen for details or to register.
