Making swimming and water safety accessible for all
Royal Life Saving WA is committed to preventing drowning in our state, through educating all Western Australians in how to keep themselves and others safe in, on and around water.
In many communities, swimming and water safety education is simply not accessible. Children and adults from lower socio-economic, Indigenous or multicultural backgrounds, affected by disabilities, or from regional and remote communities, are more likely to miss out – making them extremely vulnerable to drowning. These groups are the focus of the Royal Life Saving WA Swim and Survive Fund.
With your help, we can ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn vital swimming and water safety skills that could one day save their lives.
