What is Water Safety Week?

 

Water Safety Week, a key element of the ‘Play it Safe by the Water’ campaign, is now in its eleventh year. 

 

During this Week organisation across Victoria provide people of all ages the opportunity to participate in a range of water safety activities in a variety of environments. 

 

These activities aim to increase participants’ awareness of water safety issues, develop their water safety skills and encourage them to ‘Play it Safe by the Water’.

The ‘Play it Safe by the Water’ campaign, a Victorian Government initiative, aims to increase community awareness of water safety and change Victorian’s behaviour in and around water, by encouraging people to enjoy our beaches, rivers, lakes, bays and pools in the safest possible manner.

 

Organisations involved in Water Safety Week can nominate their activity for a Victorian Aquatic & Recreation Award.  Click here to view past Water Safety Week Award Recipients.
