UOW UniActive

We're proud to announce that UniActive is now an official Swim and Survive Partner with Royal Life Saving NSW! 🏊‍♂️💙

With close to $10,000 in funding from Royal Life Saving NSW, UniActive is delivering the nationally recognised Swim and Survive program to 99 home-school students and children living at UOW Bangalay.

Across eight weeks, participants are developing essential swimming, water safety, survival and basic rescue skills to stay safe in, on and around water.

This partnership will strengthen community access to high-quality water safety education and support to children growing up in the Illawarra region where beaches, rivers and pools are part of everyday life. The program will expand in Term 4 this year, helping more families gain the skils and confidence they need as we head towards summer. 🌊

We're excited to continue working with Royal Life Saving NSW to help build a safer, more confident community around the water.
