Social Impacts of the Australian Aquatic Industry. This research project involved a collaboration between Swinburne University and Royal Life Saving Association of Australia. The research explored and reported on the perceived social benefits, value and impacts of aquatic facilities including provision of narratives of the experiences of facility users. It then developed a framework of infrastructure for social outcomes, and positioned facilitators and barriers, as well as conditions and practices to maximise social impacts.
