ABOUT

Life Saving SA is an initiative of Surf Life Saving South Australia.

Surf Life Savers, in the iconic Red & Yellow, have patrolled our beaches for more than 100 years. The knowledge and skills our lifesavers have developed in water safety over the last century is of benefit to all members of the community, whether they’re on the coast, in a river, lake or pool. It is with this proud history and capability in mind that we continue to take meaningful steps to look beyond the coast.

The launch of Life Saving SA as an extension of SLSSA, will enable us to take a holistic, state based approach to water safety and drowning prevention. It allows us to continue our critical lifesaving work in all aquatic environments, and bring more water safety services to more people. Importantly, Life Saving SA bridges the gap between the coast and these inland aquatic environments, as we strive towards our vision of zero preventable drownings in South Australian waters.
