Educate yourself
How do you know if a beach is safe for swimming? What’s a flood warning? When do you need to wear a life jacket? How do you spot a rip? Find the answers to these questions and more on the Victorian Government’s water safety website.
Learn to swim
If you lack confidence in the water – if your swimming style is all splash and sink – don’t worry, it’s never too late to learn. Enrol in an adult swim class to learn how to float, tread water, master different strokes, improve your breathing and get out of trouble.
