04.04.2022 False! You should never dive in water that is unmarked (meaning you do not know the depth) and murky (meaning you cannot see below the surface), even if you’re familiar with the body of water or that particular spot. Water levels change constantly, as do terrain and obstructions. Safety tips when around the river or lake:... - Check conditions before entering the water - Enter the water slowly, feet first - Take care around crumbling riverbeds and slippery dam edges - Avoid underwater obstacles such as rocks, branches, rubbish - Take care when walking on unstable or slippery riverbeds - Avoid crossing flooded waterways - Avoid alcohol and drugs around water - Wear a lifejacket when boating or using watercraft - Always swim with a mate #royallifesavingqueensland #watersafety #rlssq

Many of which stated push factors being a lack of personal fulfillment, purpose or meaning, lack of career growth, mental health, poor pay and benefits. If you are looking for a career change this year, perhaps the aquatic industry can give you the fresh start, flexibility and fulfilment you might be seeking. Roles such as swimming and water safety teacher, pool lifeguard, duty manager, aquatic technical operator, community programs officer, customer service assistant, to name just a few, can offer you a community-oriented role that help to make a positive impact on people’s lives.

08.01.2022 It is with great excitement that we are launching a new program to support the delivery of swimming and water safety programs to children across our communities. The Swim Teacher Course is an innovative and cost effective training solution that provides successful candidates with a vocationally aligned, industry recognised swim teacher qualification (Skill Set SISSS00112) from the SIS Sport, Fitness and Recreation Training Package. Recent data released by Royal Life Saving an...d the Swim School industry shows up to 40% fall in swimming lesson enrolments over the last 12 months, with the greatest impact shown in children 10-12 years (-51.2%) and children 7-9 years (-40.4%). The impact of falling enrolments is three-fold: - Children miss out of learning vital skills, which has possible generational impacts on drowning risk - A fall in lessons, means further loss of jobs, which disadvantages young people and women (85% of Swim Teachers are female and 23% are aged 18 to 24 years.) - A fall in income, threatens the viability of small and medium business in the industry. This may prompt prolonged closures at a time where community needs their local pool most. Royal Life Saving Queensland has developed a new Swim Teacher Course which complies with vocational and industry standards (importantly the GSPO).
