The program was developed in memory of Ricky Harris, a beloved friend and member of the Mandurah Surf Life Saving Club family, who tragically drowned.
Delivered and developed by youth members, the session teaches students essential beach safety skills in a fun and interactive way, helping raise beach safety awareness and impart valuable lifesaving skills.
