Empowering Children, Saving Lives
Aquatic Survival Skills is a practical programme that helps Year 5 and 6 students learn how to stay safe in and around water. Our experienced educators deliver the lessons with support from classroom teachers, using real-life scenarios to build confidence and water safety skills. Created in partnership with Swimming New Zealand, the programme gives tamariki the knowledge they need to enjoy rivers, lakes, beaches, and pools safely and responsibly.
Together, let’s create a safer, more enjoyable aquatic experience for all.
With your support, we can continue making a positive impact and empowering future generations to safely enjoy our diverse water environments.
