Royal Life Saving ACT is proud to announce that it has been awarded the tender to deliver the Year Two Water Safety Program on behalf of the ACT Department of Education. This vital initiative aims to equip young students across the ACT with essential water safety knowledge and swimming skills.

The program will be rolled out at various swimming centres throughout the ACT, providing convenient and accessible locations for participating schools and families. Delivered by qualified and experienced swim teachers, the program is designed to give Year Two students a strong foundation in water safety, with a focus on confidence, competence, and awareness in and around aquatic environments.

"Water safety is a life skill every child deserves to learn," said Lucas Hayden, ACT Regional Manager for Royal Life Saving ACT. "We are excited to partner with the ACT Department of Education to help ensure that every Year Two student has the opportunity to develop critical water safety knowledge that will serve them for life."

Royal Life Saving ACT has a long-standing commitment to promoting water safety education across the territory. By engaging students at an early age, this program supports the broader community goal of reducing drownings and water-related incidents.

The organisation looks forward to working closely with schools, teachers, parents, and the broader ACT community to make this initiative a success.
