Evidence‐based content
Aligned to SLSA and SLSNZ
Surf Life Saving Australia and Surf Life Saving New Zealand are the respective peak body’s for ocean safety in each country and OceanFit programs teach ocean safety principles promoted by both organisations.
Experiential learning
OceanFit believes that the best way to learn is to experience what it is you’re learning about.
This means a ‘hand on’ approach to learning activities at all levels, i.e. a controlled float in a rip current, looking for and observing marine creatures in their natural habitat, or testing yourself in different ocean conditions.
OceanFit’s 4 core learning connections
Inherent through all of OceanFit’s educational programs are four core learning connections.
We are passionate about these connections and we ensure participants in OceanFit programs are instilled with a holistic appreciation of the ocean.
Physical
Connecting body with the natural power of the ocean
Spiritual
Connecting mind to the energy of the ocean
Cultural
Connecting with the history and people of the ocean
Environmental
Connecting with the ocean and coastal eco‐systems
