	Dear [NAME], AVP Lifeguard Challenge – Beatty Park on Top The 2010 Pool Lifeguard Challenge sponsored by AVP Commercial Pools and LIWA Aquatics was conducted on the 18^th of February at Challenge Stadium. The VenuesWest staff did a great job in configuring the 10 lane pool into two 25 meter segments for the event. The pool, which was upgraded to 51 meters in late 2007 by AVP Commercial Pools to facilitate the installation of a boom, looked beautiful. Read More Great News from the Pool Deck A young lifeguard working at Leisiurepark Balga with less than two months experience on the job has been instrumental in rescuing a young child that got into difficulty at the facility recently. Read More Second Aquatic Recreation Australia Journal Our second industry journal is now with the publishers and will delivered across Australia in the next couple of weeks. The feedback from edition one was very positive and it is hoped that the journal will, in the long term reach every pool and manager in Australia. This edition has been very well supported by our industry contacts on the East Coast and certainly has a more national flavour than the first. Once the magazine gains traction it will be a great vehicle for our industry to promote itself and its programs. So please send any contributions you think may be newsworthy to executiveofficer@liwaaquatics.net.au This editions is focus is wide ranging and looks at a diverse range of topics including, communication, managing workplace conflict, staff retention and developing technology. Watch your post box in coming weeks! Launch of the Generic Operations Manual and New Audit Process The offical launch of the eagerly awaited Operations Manual and Safety Audit Process will take place at 10.30am on Friday 5th of March at the Royal Life Saving Society Western Australia's Head Office at Mount Claremont. With the introduction of the Western Australian Code of Practice for Aquatic Facilities it has become a legislative requirement for every facility to have an Operations Manual. Section 7.8 of the Code ‘Operations Manuals and Emergency Action Plans’ stipulates the requirements for every facility to have a discrete plan in place to both operate plant and equipment and to deal with an emergency situation. Please confirm your attendance by email executiveofficer@liwaaquatics.net.au as soon as possible.
