Stay Water-Wise for Life

Feel safer and more confident around the water and when swimming in the bay.
Living in Bayside means the beach is part of our backyard – but conditions in open water can change quickly, and staying safe is about understanding both the environment and our own abilities.

Join Sandringham Life Saving Club for a friendly and practical session designed to help older adults safely enjoy the beach, bay and open water.

During the session we'll explore:

• understanding your personal risk and knowing your limits
• recognising how changing health conditions may affect you in the water
• understanding changing weather and water conditions
• practical tips for staying safe when swimming in the bay
• how to support a swim buddy who may be in difficulty.

This is a dry session held in the clubhouse, so no bathers are needed. Just come along, have a cuppa and enjoy connecting with others while picking up some practical, potentially life saving knowledge.

You'll also have the opportunity to learn more about Sandringham Life Saving Club's Silver Salties and Community Swim programs, which provide welcoming ways for local people to stay active, socially connected and confident around the water.

This is a free Bayside Seniors Festival event. Bookings are essential and complimentary refreshments will be provided.
