The program is based around:

  • Survival swimming and water safety
  • Rescue and recovery techniques
  • Resuscitation

Students will:

  • Learn CPR
  • Practice survival swimming
  • Learn rescue techniques
  • Try various safety entries and exits
  • Use floatation items such as surf boards, eskys, buckets, ropes and PFDs

Downs Little Lifeguards extension program 

The Downs Little Lifeguards offers an extension program that takes the experience out of the pool and into various aquatic environments. Children aged 9-17yrs and capable of swimming 50m continuously can join us at:

  •  Miami Beach Beach experience day, 25 Feb 2018
  •  Leslie Dam Dam Busters Day, 11 March 2018

Families will participate in ocean, dam and creek awareness activities and practice skills to potentially save a life. This is not a learn to swim program.

You can enrol for the extension program by booking online or by calling Milne Bay Aquatic and Fitness Centre on 4688 6330.
