About This Course

Mandatory Training for Group 3 Pool Facilities

Under WA Health (Aquatic Facilities) Regulations 2007, hotels, resorts, mining camps, health clubs, and other Group 3 pool operators must ensure at least one staff member with current Group 3 Aquatic Rescue qualification is on duty whenever the pool is open. Standard first aid certificates do not satisfy this requirement.

WCWS delivers this mandatory 3-hour course at your pool with minimal disruption to operations. Renewal every 3 years.

Group 3 Pool Rescue FAQ

Does our hotel pool need Group 3 trained staff?
Yes — if your property has a swimming pool, spa, or heated pool, it is classified as a Group 3 aquatic facility under WA Health Regulations and requires at least one Group 3 trained staff member on duty whenever the pool is open.
Can non-swimming staff complete the Group 3 course?
