Swim teachers and lifeguards help turn the tide on drowning. 💙

Every quality swimming lesson builds swimming ability, confidence and essential water-safety knowledge—skills that can help save lives. Lifeguards also play a vital role by helping prevent incidents and keeping our community safe in and around the water.

This World Drowning Prevention Day, join Light Aquatics and Go Blue on Saturday, 25 July.

Want to make a difference? Join our team of Learn to Swim teachers and lifeguards for the upcoming swimming season. Training opportunities may be available for suitable applicants.

Together, we can build safer and more confident swimmers and help turn the tide on drowning.
