Swim and Survive Fund
Drowning remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in Australian children.
The Swim and Survive Fund provides swimming and water safety courses for children experiencing social or economic disadvantage. These are often children who have had limited or no exposure to the water and vital water safety education.
Royal Life Saving utilises donations from individuals, community organisations, corporate supporters and Partner facilities to increases access to safe aquatic facilities, qualified instructors and to provide structured swimming and water safety education programs.
Global Drowning Fund
The tragic extent of child drowning in Asia has only recently been uncovered. It is believed that more than 200,000 children will drown in Asia every year in countries with very few resources or skills in drowning prevention. In response to this devastating burden, Royal Life Saving established the Global Drowning Fund.
The Global Drowning Fund is raising awareness and funds to urgently reduce this toll, while increasing local skills and capacity, providing research and building partnerships to further prevent this regional epidemic.
Established drowning prevention and water safety initiatives established include - Creche Programs, Swim Safe Program, Research and Advocacy.
