Is my child too young?
27 October 2015
If your child is starting school in term 1 2016 they are
eligible for RLSS pool based programs. This means they have
to be 5 years old before 1st May 2016. However, if you
want to enrol for a beach based program your child has to be 5
years old before the program starts.
However, Surf Life Saving has two water safety initiatives for
younger children. Surf Babies is for children up to 2 years and
Little Lifesavers for 3-5 years. Parents and children will learn
together about how to stay safe on the beach and in the water, as
well as simple first aid skills. You can find more about this
