Tertiary Student's Beach Excursions
The best way to understand beach safety is with a visit to a beach and some time on the sand and in the water. Our knowledgeable lifesavers can help your students experience the beach in a safe way.
What will participants learn?
Dry Sand Beach Safety Sessions
These workshops are delivered at Surf Life Saving Clubs. They involve a theory presentation delivered by Volunteer Life Savers from the club or SLS NSW Staff at the venue, then students are engaged in on-beach dry activities without them needing to get into the water. There are no age requirements and children and whole families are welcome. These sessions are particularly suited to groups new to Australia and those with limited to no experience of Australian beaches and coastlines.
