Bayside Council is helping local children and families stay safe around water these spring school holidays with a series of free 90-minute Water Safety and CPR Awareness sessions at the Angelo Anestis Aquatic Centre.
Designed for school-aged children and their families, this engaging school holiday program combines CPR awareness with practical water safety education to build confidence in and around water while teaching essential skills that could one day save a life.
Delivered by qualified aquatic professionals, the program aims to improve participants' confidence in aquatic environments, increase awareness of emergency response procedures and develop practical survival skills that encourage safer behaviours and help prevent drowning incidents.
Participants will learn:
- CPR awareness and emergency response
- Floating and survival techniques
- Safe pool entries and exits
- Water safety around pools, beaches and waterways
- How to perform a safe reach rescue
- The importance of wearing a correctly fitted lifejacket
The program will run over two weeks. Week 1 will take place from Tuesday 29 September to Thursday 1 October 2026, and Week 2 will take place from Tuesday 6 October to Thursday 8 October 2026. Session 1 runs from 10:30am to 12pm, and Session 2 runs from 11:30am to 1pm.
