Building and maintaining safe aquatic venues and environments is a major challenge when considering the complexity and popularity of waterways in Western Australia.
There are:
- 120 public swimming pools enjoyed by over 10 million patrons each year
- Over 180,000 home swimming pools
- 2,000 swimming pools in hotels, motels, clubs and schools
- Increasing popularity of ornamental lakes and waterways within residential developments
- 58 rivers in WA stretching over 9,587km
- 640 intermittent and perennial lakes
With a climate that encourages water-based activity, it's vital that all water environments are assessed and monitored to ensure any risks are addressed. Royal Life Saving WA provides safety assessment services for a range of aquatic environments.
