Swim and Survive Fund - No Child Should Miss Out -Target 10,000
Sadly, more than 50 children between the ages of one and 17 drown in Australia every year, highlighting the importance of swimming and water safety education for all Australian kids. But unfortunately, while many Australian children are learning these skills, many don't have the opportunity.
Children from indigenous, culturally and linguistically diverse, and regional and remote communities, as well as those from lower socio-economic areas, often miss out on learning how to Swim and Survive. These children are our focus.
UNCLE TOBYS and Royal Life Saving Society - Australia are proudly working together to promote the importance of water safety education. Through the Swim and Survive Fund, we are aiming to provide Swim and Survive lessons to children in the communities listed above.
You can help us reach our target of providing 10,000 children with the water safety skills and knowledge they will need to swim, survive and stay alive by:

Keep Watch Program
By supporting our Keep Watch program, you will be helping to combat the alarming drowning rate of children under five years of age. In 2009/2010, 28 children aged under five drowned in Australia. For every drowning death, another three children are hospitalised as a result of a near drowning incident.
Through the Keep Watch program, Royal Life Saving is working to prevent child drowning, by providing parents and carers of 0-5 year olds with practical and easy strategies to implement. Your contribution will be put to immediate use in your community and will be used for the delivery of our water safety, emergency first aid, public awareness and resuscitation programs.
