Advanced lifesaving Camp

Life Saving Victoria (LSV) is now inviting applications from members who wish to attend the 2024 Advanced Lifesaving Camp. Overview of Advance Lifesaving Camp Advanced Lifesaving Camp (ALC) is designed to enhance the training and development of Lifesavers and Lifeguard recruits. With a strong focus on high performance, ALC combines practical learning with specialised theory to advance the skill set of all participants.

The program utilises both classroom-based learning, and on-site practical learning across several coastal locations, giving lifesavers and potential lifeguards exposure to various waterways with unique risk profiles. The aim is to ensure that LSV members have the knowledge and skills to apply across the diverse waterways in Victoria.

The program is run by a team of experienced lifesavers and lifeguards as well as guest presenters from medical expertise and other emergency services.

An information pack will be sent out to selected candidates regarding the Advanced Lifesaving Camp details and prerequisite award expectations. For any queries regarding the Advanced Lifesaving Camp, please contact the Lifesaving Services Team.
