  2. "I was honoured to be recognised as Pool Lifeguard of the Year at the recent 2026 ARV Awards Night. I never initially considered a career in the industry, but as I moved into leadership roles, I found a real passion. I enjoy being able to lead and help the community in an impactful way, while remaining calm and calculated when every second matters."
    Jack Carrafa, Glen Eira Leisure
  3. “Our students enjoyed being at the river environment to learn about water safety as this is their back yard!”
    Denise Ross, Cobram Special Development School
  4. "We are thrilled with the success of the 2025 Bush Nippers program. All of the young people who participated had a great time as did the staff.”
    Kristal Bourke, Barooga Aquatic and Recreation Centre
  5. “The activities run by staff were very engaging and students learned a lot about themselves and their safety around water as well as looking after others. The activities were excellent, and the students loved the competitiveness. Great staff facilitators.”
    Scott Mackie, Rangebank Primary School
  6. “ILSAR has been a powerful way to launch the patrol season. It gives our members, especially emerging leaders, a stronger understanding of incident response, inter-agency collaboration, and decision-making under pressure. Participants leave the program more confident, more capable, and more deeply engaged in lifesaving.” 
    ILSAR Lead Coordinator, Xavier Korbel
  7. For six weeks, Sydney Brouwer, from Venice Beach, and Megan Seth, from Manhattan Beach, have traded the palm‑lined paths of Los Angeles for the rugged, coastline of Geelong and the Surf Coast.
    LSV Media
  8. Ten years ago, Emma Olivier joined lifesaving, seeking some out-of-the-box support to achieve her training to become a lifesaver as someone with a disability.
    LSV Media
  9. “Every session captivated me. From hearing a Police Crisis Negotiator share insights to participating in a mock committee with experienced members, each part was directly relevant to leadership development.”
    Kai
  10. "I love the variety that lifesaving gives me. From patrolling and helping the community to competing and coaching the nippers, it's all so rewarding."
    Xander M
  11. “Our students thoroughly enjoyed the water-based activities, using the flotation devices to support a rescue and of course the pink rashies.”
    Tim Lappin, Drouin Primary School
  12. Venus Bay, known for its stunning yet challenging beaches, is the location for a new trial of life-saving equipment that could save lives.
