Swim & Survive Programs

We use the Swim and Survive program which is a comprehensive swimming and water safety initiative of Royal Life Saving that seeks to increase the swimming and water safety skills of all Australian children in order to prevent drowning and increase participation in safe aquatic activity.
​
Wonder, Courage and Active have been chosen as the Swim and Survive program titles to reflect the hopes and aspirations of children and families as they embark on a lifetime of fun and safety in the water.

​Each program is structured into skill strands that ensure a balanced, comprehensive instructional approach to a child's aquatic education.

Wonder
A water familiarisation program for parents and their children aged 6 to 36 months.

Courage
A program that builds water confidence for preschool aged children between the ages of 3-5 years.

Active
A swimming and water safety program for school aged children between the ages of 5-14 years.

Skills and knowledge learnt in the Swim and Survive program provides a level of protection and aims to provide children with solid foundation skills in swimming, survival and basic rescue skills.
