Royal Life Saving is pleased by the news that Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk MP has today launched a new lifesaving program, aimed at teaching Queensland kids how to swim.
SwimStart will provide greater access to swimming lessons for children aged 0 – 4 in a bid to improve water safety.
Eligible families will be able to apply for vouchers valued up to $150, amounting to a $4.8 million investment over two years from the Palaszczuk Government in the upcoming State Budget.
Royal Life Saving has been working with a range of industry partners and peak bodies to enhance swimming and survival skills of Queensland school children, and vouchers was discussed at the South East Queensland Water Safety Forum.
