Water Safety - Play it Safe by the Water

This website contains water safety information to assist you to be safe at the beach, at the river, by the pool and while boating and fishing. This website is brought to you by the Victorian Government's 'Play it Safe by the Water ' campaign, which is actively working towards increasing community awareness of water safety.

Know Your Environment

There are different safety rules for beaches, rivers, lakes and public or private swimming pools. 

Behave Safely

Obey all water safety signs, don’t drink alcohol while in charge of a boat and make sure someone is looking out for you.

Learn to Swim

Being able to swim is an essential water safety skill. Everybody, especially school-age children, should be taught to swim and how to stay afloat.
