Webinar - The GSPO Made Simple: What You Need to Know
The Guidelines for Safe Pool Operation (GSPO), developed by Royal Life Saving Society - Australia in consultation with industry associations such as SWIM, is the benchmark for safety in aquatic environments, but knowing how to apply them in a swim school setting can often feel complex and confusing.
This webinar, presented by National Manager - Industry Safety for Royal Life Saving Society - Australia, Marty Moran, will simplify the GSPO into practical, easy-to-understand guidance you can confidently apply in your facility.
We’ll walk through where the GSPO sits within legislation and standards, how to navigate the guidelines, and what they mean for your day-to-day operations.
Key areas covered include:
Safe diving
Child safety
Training and qualifications
Aquatic supervision
Emergency planning and management
Risk management
Unique water spaces (including inflatables and splash parks)
Designed specifically for swim school owners, managers, and aquatic professionals, this session will help you strengthen your safety practices, support compliance, and ensure you are meeting industry best practice.
