Water Smart Program
Water Smart is an education program to teach children vital safety information. To educate them to become aware of dangers in a range of aquatic environments.
Promoting safe behaviour around water and giving children the tools they need to be able to deal with basic emergencies. Royal Life Saving recommends that all children participate in both the practical and theory aspects of the water safety program.
Water Safety For Kids
We know that teaching water safety to our children is a priority for parents. That's why the Water Safety program emphasises building swimming capabilities and confidence for children in the water.
We encourage every child to learn how to swim while also enjoying the water — working toward building their water skills and confidence in, on and around water.
Water Smart Program Focus
- Water safety
- Introduction to resuscitation principles
- Basic reach and throw rescue techniques
Water Safety Swimming Lessons
Water Smart swimming lessons are a unique experience for students to develop their swimming skills and understanding of water safety.
Within both theory and practical environment. Students will receive assignments to take home and share with their family.
This program also allows students to gain experience in open water. It is designed to empower students to make safe aquatic related decisions while enjoying their local waterway.
Please be aware that children under five years of age may not be able to use their swimming skills in an emergency. Always keep watch over your children when around water.
