Welcome To SA Shores

Learn how to safely enjoy yourself around water

The Welcome to SA Shores program, delivered by Surf Life Saving South Australia, helps multicultural communities build confidence in and around water. Through swimming lessons, beach education, lifesaving skills and community connection, the program supports safer and more enjoyable experiences across South Australia.

Designed for individuals and families, the program offers a mix of pool and beach sessions where you will learn how to stay safe and make the most of aquatic environments. You will also gain an understanding of the important role of lifesavers, including who they are, what they do and where to find them when you need help.

The program includes five pool sessions and one beach session, and it is completely free.
