🇳🇿 Growing our network in Aotearoa!

Our latest SST Instructor Class in New Zealand is wrapped, and we're proud to welcome more instructors into the SST community!

Every new instructor represents an opportunity to share knowledge, strengthen aquatic teams and make a real difference to safety across the industry. That's what drives us to keep growing our network and supporting the people who are committed to making aquatic environments safer.

A big thank you to everyone who took part, including Alex Calwell ARPro and Sean Stepowany leading the course. We're excited to see what you'll do with what you've learned!

Leadership in life safety requires precision, passion, and purpose.

Get the kettle on, SST are heading back to Britain! 🇬🇧

Destination: IAAPA Expo Europe, London
Weather: Let’s be realistic; its probably gonna rain
Refreshments: Tea. Fish & Chips. Scones (but what goes first? Jam or cream?)
Queue: Yes.

Powered by Ellis and Associates, Charne Schnetler will be heading to the Big Smoke and we’re looking forward to catching up with old friends, meeting new ones and having a proper natter about all things aquatic.

So grab your Oyster card, hop on the Tube, hail a black cab… but make sure you visit booth

Mind the gap - Will we see you in London?

Scanning looks simple, but we all know it isn't.

It takes concentration, discipline and consistency, and it’s one of those skills that needs to be practised, not just talked about.

Lloyd de Bruyn had a great time with the team at Cyan WaterPark in Jeddah for a Scanning Clinic and see that commitment first-hand.

Huge thank you to Omar Baghaffar and Toheeb Abiodun Ajiboye and the rest of the team for committing so relentlessly to the mission!

Great partnerships are built on shared values, and one of those values is recognising the people who make our industry safer every day.

We're pleased to share this message from Peter Boyack, Executive Vice President at WhiteWater, thanking lifeguards across the globe for their professionalism, vigilance, and commitment to protecting others.

Join us in celebrating the lifeguards, supervisors, instructors, and aquatic safety professionals whose work often goes unseen—but never goes unappreciated.

This rescue tube might steal the spotlight… but never the credit.

July 31st belongs to our lifeguards - and to yours 💙🧡 The work they do is so important, every day, so they deserve at least one day of recognition.

More of our superstars across the globe sharing our appreciation for their teams; the reason our facilities can operate and enable us all to reduce death by drowning.

International Lifeguard Appreciation Day is just around the corner on 31 July!

With thousands of lifeguards in our global community, one day wasn't nearly enough to recognise what they do...

So, we're adding and extra day or two to the party 🎉🎊

Join with us as we recognise the dedication, professionalism and commitment of lifeguards who help make aquatic environments safer around the world.

Here's to the people behind the whistle 💙🧡
