Inland waterways contain many environments where drowning deaths occur – rivers, lakes, dams, irrigation channels, water tanks and creeks have all been sites of drowning deaths. The many hazards that these have environments make them dynamic and unpredictable; but we're here to help!
Our Respect the River programs are a great way to become equipped with the knowledge, skills and judgement needed to keep safe in inland waterways. Our programs include hands on aquatic courses or interactive workshops. These programs cater for all ages and abilities and are great for the individual or can be delivered at your school or sporting group.
