The APLSC brings athletes, teams, volunteers and staff together from across Australia for three days of competition both in the water (speed events) and out of water (initiative tests and CPR).

Royal Life Saving wants everyone to enjoy the water safely this summer, but to prepare and brush up on safety precautions, especially in unfamiliar locations.

More than just a sport. Pool lifesaving builds confidence, teaches teamwork, and is perfect for those who want to add an extra dimension to their swimming. It tests a lifesaver's skills in rescue, accident prevention and emergency care, teaching skills that will save lives and last a lifetime.

Develop skills and leadership while supporting the next generation of lifesavers by becoming a pool lifesaving coach or official.

From local carnivals to the Lifesaving World Championships, lifesaving sport offers many pathways for personal and professional development both in the water and on pool deck.

Robust sport policies ensure safeguards are in place to protect athletes, coaches, managers and officials providing a fun and safe environment for all.
