SLSSA Update

10 November 2015

Surf Life Saving SA delivers the program at South Australia's beaches, and this year has added a new location: Port MacDonnell. Following successful Surf Ed programs with local schools and a come and try Nipper day, as well as popular programs at Robe and Beachport, we hope that VACSWIM will also take off at this new location.

Port MacDonnell is the only new location for 2016, but in 2015 Surf Life Saving SA ran the program at Brighton and Christies Beach, based out of the surf lifesaving clubs. 2015 also saw Surf Life Saving SA acquire a large number of regional beach locations that used to run a Royal Life Saving program. The Royal and Surf programs do map together, but there is now more focus on beach safety rather than stroke development.
