AquA quiz

Swim and Survive is a swimming and water safety initiative of Royal Life Saving that seeks to increase swimming and water safety skills of Australian children in order to prevent drowning and increase participation in safe aquatic activity.

Royal Life Saving greatly appreciates the wonderful support of UNCLE TOBYS® who is working with us to help thousands of Australian children learn to Swim and Survive. Work through the activities in this booklet and learn valuable water safety messages from the UNCLE TOBYS® Ambassadors: Eamon Sullivan, Emily Seebohm, Cate Campbell and Grant Hackett.

Visit Lochie the Lifeguard at www.swimandsurvive.com.au and discover more fun, interactive games, puzzles and activities. Meet the UNCLE TOBYS® Ambassadors and enter our monthly water safety competition to win some great prizes!

Learning how to be safe when in, on or around the water, is an invaluable skill to have. Everyone can be a lifesaver – that includes you!
