Minaret College students such as Laila, pictured, will never forget this lesson on water safety.
They excitedly watched a Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter land in their school grounds on 27 July, and then got tips on dangerous rips and swimming between the flags.
It was rounded by a mock helicopter rescue.
“We hope the students will take these drowning prevention messages home to their families and help to effect change in these communities,” Life Saving Victoria operations manager Greg Scott said.
“Some of their family and friends may be vulnerable swimmers who are less aware of the changeable ocean conditions and beach safety.”
