Overview

School programs, water safety, surfing, first aid and resuscitation are all just a part of the programs and services offered to schools, students and teachers throughout South Australia.

Surf Life Saving is the leading open water safety organisation with Rescue, Education and Prevention being the three core principles that programs and services are based upon.

Water safety is a major issue for all Australians, with drownings highlighting the need for greater education to reduce the loss of life in aquatic environments.

To recreate safely at the beach or any aquatic environment, Surf Life Saving South Australia Inc. (SLSSA) strongly recommends that everyone participate in open water safety and awareness programs.

A number of these programs are detailed in the DECS Programs page, which can be accessed by clicking here.
