PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Description
CALD Water Safety Education provides culturally sensitive and practical water safety education tailored for newly arrived migrants and culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
The program introduces participants to water safety in an Australian context, helping them understand common aquatic environments, recognise potential hazards and develop the knowledge and confidence to keep themselves and their families safer around water.
Sessions explore water safety across the home, swimming pools, beaches and inland waterways, while also introducing participants to drowning risk in Australia, the benefits of learning to swim and practical strategies for safer participation in aquatic activities.
