About BeachEd

About The Beach Education Program | Beach Ed

Beach Ed, is a unique opportunity for schools to experience a fun, safe and educational day at the beach, instructed by qualified professionals and assisted by Lifeguards and operating to a strict International Code of Practice. Beach Ed complements any water related instruction students may receive at their school or club. However, not all schools or clubs have a swimming pool or specialized teachers who are confident in teaching a number of children in the water environment. Hence, Beach Ed may, in fact, be the only formal and correctly supervised water education these children receive.

The program is delivered in a structured manner by qualified instructors in a disciplined environment that sees the children taught Beach Awareness and Safety through a combination of theory and practical participation modules.

The program will teach children how to identify hazards and manage their risks accordingly. The activities include:

• Beach Safety Rules
• Sun Smart Practices
• How to recognize dangers at the Beach and water activities
• Take home student and teacher resources

All participants are awarded certificates and sea awareness reading material at the end of the course to take home and keep for future references.
