21.01.2022 Mum-of-three Latara Ogle has been awarded a Gold Medallion Bravery Award for saving the life of an elderly man who had collapsed along busy Ennis Avenue in Warnbro. In March this year, Latara was on her way to pick up her kids from school when she saw a woman frantically waving down traffic. Latara immediately pulled over to help and discovered the woman's husband had collapsed; he wasn't breathing and had no pulse. Trained in first aid, Latara commenced CPR and instructed t...he man's wife and other bystanders to assist. After several minutes the man began to breathe again, and he later went on to make a full recovery! Read Latara's incredible story here: https://bit.ly/3q2gxET #firstaid #cpr #BraveryAwards

13.01.2022 As we work to make swimming and water safety education accessible to all, Royal Life Saving Society WA is partnering with the City of Stirling to launch Saturday night womens only swimming at Leisurepark Balga - City of Stirling in term 4 2020.

From next term Leisurepark Ba...lga will be open exclusively for women from 7 9pm on Saturday nights to provide a safe space for women to take part in aquatic activity.

12.01.2022 Whose eyes are on the kids? When it comes to kids and water, adult supervision is the only supervision! Even though children can appear mature, they should not be left to supervise toddlers around water. Children can become easily distracted and not notice a toddler has come into trouble or they might think that their younger sibling is playing in the water. As a result they may not pull the toddler to safety or alert adults that something has gone wrong in time.... Click here for more supervision safety tips! https://buff.ly/2z2WArq
