The Maldives Swimming and Life Saving Skills Training School (MSLSTS) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the Comprehensive Lifeguard and Base Activity Water Safety Training Programme at Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort, further reinforcing the resort’s commitment to operational excellence, child safeguarding, and the highest standards of guest safety.
Delivered by MSLSTS, the programme was specifically developed for Kids Club associates and team members responsible for children’s water-based recreational activities. The training was designed to strengthen participants’ knowledge, practical competencies, and emergency preparedness, ensuring that children participating in aquatic activities are supervised within a safe, professionally managed, and risk-aware environment.
Developed in accordance with internationally recognised principles of aquatic risk management and preventive water safety, the programme combined comprehensive theoretical instruction with practical assessment. Participants successfully completed training in child-centred aquatic risk assessment, hazard identification, safe supervision practices, emergency action planning, water rescue techniques appropriate to resort environments, casualty management, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid, emergency communication, and operational procedures supporting the safe delivery of children’s water-based activities.
Recognised for its exceptional hospitality and located within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort continues to demonstrate its commitment to continuous professional development by equipping its associates with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to deliver safe, enjoyable, and responsibly managed recreational experiences for younger guests.
Water safety is founded upon prevention, preparedness, professional competence, and a culture of continuous improvement. By investing in structured education and internationally aligned training, organisations strengthen their ability to protect guests, support operational resilience, and promote confidence among families choosing the Maldives as a destination for leisure and recreation.
Commenting on the successful completion of the programme, the Maldives Swimming and Life Saving Skills Training School stated:
“Creating a safe environment for children requires more than effective emergency response—it demands vigilance, preparation, professional competence, and a proactive approach to risk management. We commend the participants for their dedication throughout the programme and congratulate Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort for its continued commitment to strengthening water safety and safeguarding young guests through professional training.”
The successful completion of this programme reflects the shared commitment of MSLSTS and Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort to advancing professional standards in child water safety through competency-based education, internationally aligned training, and the promotion of best practices across the Maldivian hospitality industry.
The Maldives Swimming and Life Saving Skills Training School extends its sincere appreciation to the Management and Leadership Team of Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort for their valued collaboration and commitment to fostering excellence in water safety, child safeguarding, and continuous professional development. MSLSTS looks forward to continuing its partnership with the resort in supporting internationally recognised standards of aquatic safety throughout the Republic of Maldives.
