First Active Training

09/09/2025

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.

Cardiac arrest casualties survival rate is only 10% outside of hospitals in Australia. We really need to take a look at encouraging more bystanders to step in and step up to learn this valuable life skill.
