My Lifesaving Story: Ireland Medal Presentation Address Dr Shayne Baker OAM, D. Prof (Australia) shayne.d.baker@gmail.com Being an active lifesaver and drowning prevention advocate in Australia has provided me with many diverse, interesting and challenging opportunities that have been intricately entwined with my professional capacity in education, training and lifelong learning. One of the most exciting prospects for me in attending the Lifesaving Foundation’s 8th International Drowning Prevention & Rescue Research Conference in 2018 is the prospect of being to be able to present to so many international colleagues the motivation that inspired me to get involved into the lifesaving movement based in regional Australia, the challenges to be overcome in accepting a number of roles, including my appointment as the first national president of Royal Life Saving Society Australia based in Queensland. There are many reflections and learning that has been part of the story and I look forward to the opportunity to share my reflections with you in Dublin. Reflections that may well resonate with attendees and highlight the international connection and bond shared throughout the world.   1Baker: Ireland Medal PresentationPublished by ScholarWorks@BGSU, 2018
