We’re excited about seeing Australian’s compete at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games!

With the Olympics now officially begun, lets get behind our Aussies as they look to create more memorable moments in history!

Let’s Go Australia!! 💚💛

Drowning is one of the leading causes of death globally for children and young people aged 1-24 years. Every year, an estimated 236,000 people drown.

In Australia, hundreds of families lose loved ones to drowning every year.

Today, Friday 26th July on World Drowning Prevention Day, join Royal Life Saving and Oak Park to take action to prevent drowning:

🔹Enrol in swimming lessons
🔹Supervise children
🔹Check pool fence and gate
🔹Avoid alcohol and drugs around water
🔹Wear a lifejacket
🔹Know the conditions
🔹Become a pool lifeguard
🔹Learn CPR
🔹Become a swim teacher

Every small step we individually take can help save lives.

Recharge and reconnect under the radiant full moon. Join us at Oak Park Sports and Aquatic Centre for soothing 50-minute meditation monthly sessions on Fridays and find your inner tranquillity! 🌕
