Surf Safety Community Education Programs

We are constantly trying to reach more beach-goers and educate them on how to safely enjoy our greatest natural asset. Targeting schools, businesses and tourists in particular, we are able to instill the importance of swimming between the red and yellow flags as well as other vital surf safety tips like how to spot a rip. Our lotteries help educate thousands of school children each year.   It costs up to $500 to run a basic surf safety demonstration for the community.

BEACH TO BUSH PROGRAM 2012

The Telstra Beach to Bush Program offers students in regional areas an introduction to Surf Life Saving and the vital surf safety skills required to stay safe in an aquatic environment. Qualified Surf Lifesavers visit classrooms across the country to deliver interactive surf safety lessons using lifesaving equipment.

The program is designed to increase awareness of the risks associated with the surf and local waterways and show children how to minimise these risks. Children from regional communities are often less familiar with the potential dangers of the surf and the program aims to reach those children before they reach the beach.

The program, which is going into its eighth year in Queensland, is the largest and most innovative surf education program in Australia today, reaching more than 70 schools and 10,000 students each year.

Your support helps us to maintain beach safety programs such as this one.
