Proud sponsors of Royal Life Saving Society

PoolWerx is a proud program partner in Community Water Safety with Royal Life Saving and the Keep Watch Program.

"The PoolWerx sponsorship of Keep Watch is a very important one because the 250 PoolWerx franchises will help to get the Keep Watch message and literature directly into the hands of the home pool owner while they are on-site providing their top quality pool maintenance and enhancement," said Royal Life Saving CEO Rob Bradley.

PoolWerx Corporation CEO, John O'Brien added "In targeting Australian backyard pools as safe, healthy swimming environments, it means we can contribute not only dollars, but also experience and expertise from our National network. If we can help save the life of just one little one - well, how do you put a price on that?"

Philosophy of Keep Watch

It's more than handing out brochures and putting up signs!
To prevent drowning deaths and aquatic related injuries from occurring, a range of community-based actions are required including education, behaviour change, legislation, engineering and technology solutions. These solutions form the basis of the Keep Watch program, from the removal of water bodies to the education of parents and carers about how they can keep their children safe.

For effective community action, community groups and individuals need to work together to ensure the greatest effect will occur. These strategies should not be seen as individual actions but as part of an overall strategy, which when used in combination, help to provide a safer aquatic environment for young children.
