Water Safety Talks & Presentations
Royal Life Saving delivers engaging water safety talks and presentations tailored for adults, workplaces, and community groups.
- Adults represent a significant proportion of drowning fatalities, often due to risk-taking, lack of awareness, or limited safety knowledge. Education programs targeted at adult groups are vital to reducing preventable incidents and changing behaviours.
Talks and presentations provide a trusted space for adults and community groups to learn, reflect, and discuss safety challenges. By meeting people where they already gather, these sessions make drowning prevention accessible, relevant, and actionable.Water Safety Talks & Presentations are structured sessions delivered by Royal Life Saving experts to workplaces, multicultural groups, parent associations, and community organisations. Sessions can be booked as short presentations (30–45 minutes) or extended workshops (1.5–2 hours) depending on the needs of the audience.
Each presentation is interactive, blending evidence-based advice with practical examples, and includes time for discussion and Q&A. Content is tailored to suit the group, with topics such as inland waterways, backyard pool safety, or alcohol and aquatic activity.
Participants also receive handouts, safety guides, and access to digital resources to reinforce learning after the session.
