Swim and Survive Partnership

Our Swim and Survive program is delivered by qualified swim teachers who ensure that essential water safety, personal survival and basic rescue skills are taught to all enrolled students. Our teachers make lessons fun, while helping all participants develop a strong and effective swimming techniques.

Swim and Survive is a water safety initiative provided by Royal Life Saving Victoria and designed to increase swimming and water safety skills of all Australian children in order to prevent drowning and increase participation in safe aquatic activity.
