The accreditation is awarded to facilities that demonstrate sustained excellence in safety, supervision and risk management.
“When people visit Aquamoves, we want them to feel confident that their safety is being taken seriously every time they walk through our doors,” acting Aquamoves centre manager Leanne Johnson said.
“This is an achievement our entire Aquamoves team can be proud of, and we will continue working to provide a safe and welcoming place for our community.”
To achieve platinum status, Aquamoves passed an annual pool safety assessment with 100 per cent compliance and a safety score of at least 95 per cent.
Aquamoves also completed two ‘mystery guest’ visits and achieved recognition through the Watch Around Water and SwimSafe programs.
The platinum accreditation is limited to 60 centres across Victoria and was introduced to provide a clear industry benchmark.
Andy Dennis from Life Saving Victoria congratulated Aquamoves and Greater Shepparton City Council for the achievement.
“With the warmer months ahead and Victorians preparing to spend more time in and around the water, maintaining high standards of safety across aquatic facilities is critically important,” he said.
Mr Dennis also praised Aquamoves for its achievements in the community.
“It is a valued community asset that supports physical activity, social connection, health and wellbeing, and provides opportunities for people of all ages to enjoy and develop their confidence in and around the water,” he said.
