Lifesaving Education Programs

A qualified surf lifesaver comes to your school, kindergarten or community group — classroom, hall or gymnasium. This interactive incursion covers supervision, swimming between the flags, reading safety signs and conditions, lifejacket safety, identifying dangers and what to do in an emergency, with senior programs adding 'don't drink and drown'.

Sessions typically run one hour with flexible timing, suited to groups of 20–60 students. Delivered year-round — ideal for keeping water safety front of mind in cooler months or preparing for camps and swimming lessons.

Students transfer their pool skills and classroom knowledge to real open water — learning to read the environment, understand its risks, and respond in an emergency. Programs cover CPR and emergency response, water safety knowledge and signage, lifejackets, rescue strategies and safe bodyboarding.

Sessions run two hours during Terms 1 and 4, with options to book multiple days, add a classroom session or a beach carnival. Sporting Schools funding covers two two-hour programs — and these book out fast, so plan early.

Two programs developed specifically for Specialist and Specialist Development Schools, delivered as an incursion or excursion — or we can bring the standard classroom program to you.

The Bubble — LSV's sensory water safety experience teaches water safety familiarisation in a dry, controlled environment, tailored to each student's sensory needs and abilities.

Tailored open water programs — beach, river or lake programs adapted with small group sizes, modified equipment and flexible scheduling, so every student learns at their own pace and celebrates achievements big and small.
