Life Saving Victoria is pleased to announce that the Aquatic Industry Summit is back for 2026.

After a few years away, the Summit will return this October 2026, bringing the aquatic industry together once again for two days of connection, ideas and sector-wide conversation.

The first day will focus on operations and safety, with the second day centred on learn to swim, workforce and partner programming.

The Aquatic Industry Summit has long been an opportunity for aquatic professionals, partners and industry leaders to connect around the issues that matter most across Victoria. In 2026, that conversation returns with renewed energy and a clear focus on supporting safer aquatic environments, stronger industry capability and practical outcomes for our communities.

Whether you work in public pools, swim schools, local government, aquatic operations, training, education, risk, or industry supply, the Summit will offer a valuable chance to reconnect with colleagues, hear from sector voices and explore what’s next for the Victorian aquatic industry.

Attendees can look forward to a program that will include industry insights, practical learnings, emerging ideas and opportunities to network with peers and partners across the sector.

The Summit is coming home and will be held at The Views, LSV’s beachfront venue in Port Melbourne
