This year, our Water Safety Month campaign will begin 29th of November with the launch of our annual Drowning Report.
Our aim is to spread awareness and educate Victorians of the aquatic related risks this summer.
While we encourage everyone to enjoy the water this summer, we want you to be aware of the risks for both yourself and your loved ones.
Last season, there were 59 people’s lives cut short in Victorian waters. It is more important than ever that we brush up on our skills and educate people around us of the risks.

Our condolences are with those who lost a family member, colleague, or friend.
Have you been to Swim City?
Swim City is Life Saving Victoria’s (LSV) exciting new e-learning world that uses gamification targeted at primary-aged students. Swim City was developed in response to the cancellation of school swimming programs throughout 2021.
Students can learn key water safety messages and how to stay safe on and around water, as they explore various aquatic environments.
This module is part of the Victorian Water Safety Certificate (VWSC).
