About West Coast Water Safety

West Coast Water Safety (WCWS) is a specialised business dedicated to providing rigorous and thorough aquatic training and certification throughout Western Australia. Established in 2017, WCWS initially focused on certifying pool & ocean lifeguards and providing aquatic rescue training. Rapid growth followed as our reputation for excellence spread, attracting partnerships with affiliated companies, government bodies, educational institutions, and the general public.
