SWIM AND SURVIVE

More than swimming lessons, it's an adventure!

Royal Life Saving's Swim and Survive program is a national swimming and water safety program educating 5 to 14 year olds all over Australia. Since 1982 nearly 10 million Australians have participated in the program.

Swim and Survive provides a broad, balanced program of swimming, water safety and survival skills in preparation for a lifetime of safe activity in, on or near the water.

Swim and Survive develops:

• Swimming technique
• Water safety
• Water confidence
• Survival
• Endurance

Swim and Survive caters for children of all abilities. The early levels provide opportunities to build confidence and respect for the water, whilst the upper levels prepare the child for the increased complexity of their relationship with aquatic environments.

Bright and colourful certificates reward children for the many developmental steps that they will take in learning to Swim and Survive.

Remember that a quality swimming and water safety program should extend throughout the child's schooling.
