Looking for an exciting and educational activity for your kids outside of school?
Surf Life Saving Queensland’s Little Lifesavers program is a fun way for kids to learn about water safety, all while keeping them entertained on the school holidays and weekends.
Open for kids from 5 to 11 years of age, they’ll get to learn about water safety through activities, beach games and rescue demos, without the trip to the beach!
The Little Lifesavers program is designed to be fun and engaging and help increase your child’s skills and confidence in the water. Plus, they’ll be entertained for hours.
