Royal Life Saving Society - South Australia has announced that its 2020/21 Vacswim program will commence as of Monday 14th December 2020.

The Vacswim SA program is a South Australian Government funded program for primary school aged children aged five to 13 years, providing the fundamentals of water safety, survival skills and basic stroke skills.

With Royal Life Saving Society SA set to deliver the Swim & Survive program at over 60 locations across South Australia, the Society advised “as the largest provider of vacation swimming programs in Australia, we are looking forward to delivering the coming program and providing vital water safety skills to participants.

“This program ranges from 12 months to 18 years of age, teaching vital water safety skills and providing pathways for everyone to be a lifesaver in their community.

“With over 6,000 enrolments, we are pleased to deliver these programs to strengthen communities and provide a safe, family friendly program at a time where many children have missed out on their swimming lessons throughout the past year.”
