The Society’s Mission

To prevent loss of life and injury in the community with an emphasis on the aquatic environment. Our mission is achieved through the education of individuals and by dramatically increasing public awareness.

Love 2 Swim

Love 2 Swim is the re-branding of the highly successful Swim and Survive Program that the Royal Life Saving Society has successfully delivered as a Nationally Accredited Swimming and Water Safety Program. This program has been educating 5-14 year olds for over 20 years. Since 1982 it is estimated that over 10 million Australians have participated in the Swim and Survive program. It aims to reduce the number of drowning deaths by ensuring that children have a sound knowledge of safety when in, on and around the water, including skills in swimming, personal survival and basic rescue. Since programs like Swim and Survive were introduced, there has been a 75% reduction in drowning in the 5-14 years age group.
