Absolutely shocking – Australia has recorded the highest drowning deaths on record. 357 lives lost last year, 27% above the 10-year average. These aren’t just numbers – they’re preventable tragedies.
At First Active Training, we prepare people for real-life emergencies. From backyard pools to rivers, beaches, and remote locations, knowing how to respond confidently can save lives.
Key facts:
🛟 Teens and young adults face rising risks due to poor swimming skills.
🛟 Older adults account for a third of drownings, often influenced by health and water safety skills.
🛟 Coastal and inland waterways are high-risk, especially in unpatrolled or unfamiliar areas.
Our hands-on training focuses on rescue techniques, emergency response, and situational awareness. We don’t just teach – we empower people to act safely and effectively when it matters most.
Preparation saves lives. Don’t wait for an emergency – train with First Active Training and make a difference when it counts.
