An Beach Safety Program for Multicultural and CALD Communities

Day at the Beach Program

The Day at the Beach program is a 45 minute session led by an experienced presenter to educate multicultural and CALD communities on beach safety. It provides essential knowledge for a safe, enjoyable experience and is especially valuable for those unfamiliar with basic beach safety, particularly those who didn’t grow up near the coast.

The beach is for everyone to enjoy. Knowing how to stay safe while at the beach will make sure that you and your family have the best day possible.

What is a surf lifesaver?

Each summer over 20,000 members of SLSNSW put on the iconic red and yellow uniforms at beaches across the state. So who exactly are these heroes in red and yellow? Let's find out!

What is a wave?

Waves can be fun. You can dive under them, jump over them, watch them gently roll to shore or be awed by their power as they crash on the beach. So how are they formed?
