Water Safety Program for International Students

Dive into a week of fun and essential learning with our Water Safety Program designed for international students at the University of Tasmania!

If you don't know how to swim or have always wanted to learn to swim, this program is the first step for you.

We'll cover water safety, survival techniques, and basic rescue skills emphasising the importance of knowing how to swim. This program is tailored for international students and provides the perfect opportunity to gain confidence and learn in a supportive environment.

Participants will choose a timeslot which they will commit to for the entire week. For example, if you choose the 7am to 8am slot, you will attend at that time every day for the duration of the program

By the end of the week, you'll be a water safety hero with your newfound skills and knowledge. Join us for a week of learning and practice, and take the plunge into water safety! Spots are limited!
