We help save lives away from the beach too.

Through our training and education programs, we equip individuals and the community with skills that can help save a life. Surf Life Saving SA has been providing a range of lifesaving and first aid courses to organisations, individuals and the community for over thirty years. 

From education about how to keep yourself and others safe at the beach to providing first aid training to anyone in the workplace, home or community, our training and education programs take the essence of the lifesaving movement off the beach and into the community.

Saving lives is at the core of what we do. So who better to learn vital life saving and first aid skills from than the lifesaving experts?
