Building on the success of the Open Water Grey Medallion pilot program delivered in 2017, Life Saving Victoria is pleased to announce its first bay program at Hampton LSC. This program has been specifically designed for the over 55 age group, it provides a unique opportunity to enhance participants’ knowledge and skills, enabling them to stay and keep others safe in and around the open water environment. Delivered over six sessions, the program covers many aspects of lifesaving from basic first aid to self-survival techniques; that are transferable skills from the beach to everyday life. The sessions will incorporate theory and practical lessons in both the classroom and open water.
Target Audience
Targeted at members of the public aged 55+ years, we invite grandparents, retirees and people eager to learn new skills and meet great people. All abilities welcome – beginner to experienced.
