Junior Development Program
Not only is Junior Activities a fun way for children to enjoy the beach in a safe environment, it also offers an educational pathway through the delivery of the SLSA Junior Development Program. This program is designed to ensure children have fun at the beach while participating in lessons that will provide them with a pathway to become a fully rounded participant in both lifesaving and sport activities. The program includes a wide range of subjects and skills relative to the aquatic environment and prepares Junior Activities members for their transition to becoming a senior member and aims to promote the spirit of camaraderie and citizenship within the community.
