Canberra Olympic Pool

Massive congratulations to the Canberra Olympic Pool team on receiving certificate of appreciation for the Safety Award from Belgravia Leisure (ACT/NSW)

Your commitment to creating a safe, welcoming environment for every swimmer, staff member and visitor doesn’t go unnoticed. Well done on this well-deserved recognition.

A special shout-out also goes to Hugo for also being recognised and appreciated as an Emerging Leader. Exciting to see the next generation of leadership already making such a positive impact.

Proud of the whole Belgravia Leisure Canberra Olympic Pool family — keep up the outstanding work! 💙🏊‍♂️

Swimming isn’t seasonal; it’s an essential year-round life skill.

After taking extended breaks from swimming lessons, children find their skills fading, confidence dropping, and progress slowing.

Don’t miss out on progress and learn a skill for life!

It's Loneliness Awareness Week.

This August, we're joining the call to make room for connection and raise awareness of the impact loneliness and social isolation can have on people and communities.

Connection doesn't have to be a big gesture. It could be sharing a smile, saying hello, inviting someone to join you, or taking a moment to check in. These small but deliberate actions can help people feel welcome, included and connected.

We're proud to be a place where people can connect, stay active and feel part of the community.

Today is World Drowning Prevention Day.

Today we join communities around the world in recognising the importance of drowning prevention and water safety awareness. The day serves as a reminder that drowning prevention is everyone's responsibility and that together we can help reduce preventable water-related
incidents.

Whether it's actively supervising children, learning CPR, enrolling in swimming lessons or simply sharing water safety messages, every action contributes to safer communities.

Let's continue working together to create safer experiences in and around the water.

💙 Anyone can drown, but no one should.

Small actions can make a big difference around water.

Ahead of World Drowning Prevention Day, we're encouraging everyone to refresh their water safety knowledge and help create safer aquatic environments for all.

Things you can do:
✅ Supervise children at all times around water
✅ Learn CPR and emergency response skills
✅ Check pool gates and barriers are secure
✅ Keep learning and practising safe behaviours around water
✅ Encourage friends and family to do the same

Every small step we take can help save lives.

Our latest newsletter is now available on our website, making it easier than ever to catch up on upcoming programs, events, promotions, and important venue updates.

World Drowning Prevention Day is coming up on 25 July.

Every year, this global awareness day shines a light on the importance of water safety and the simple actions that can help prevent drowning. Drowning can happen quickly and quietly, but many incidents are preventable through awareness, supervision, education and preparedness.

As we approach World Drowning Prevention Day, take a moment to think about how you can help keep yourself, your family and your community safe around water.

💙 Anyone can drown, but no one should.
