YMCA Yarra Recreation Centre played it safe on Water Safety Week by holding programs to highlight community water safety issues and to help develop skills.
Survival swims, boating activities, rescues, resuscitation demonstrations, colouring competitions, safety talks, baby play and preschool safety class demonstrations, simulated ocean swimming and more were all part of showing people how to enjoy the water safely.
For information on water safety or aquatic lessons call the centre on 5967 1675.
