Water Safety

Knowledge is the key to everything. And when we speak about the safety of children in an aquatic environment, water awareness is a crucial factor for being safe. The concept of water awareness is a combination of activities and strategies that are employed for ensuring the safety of your children: Familiarisation with water, discussing with your children about water safety issues as well as the importance of following rules when being inside the water and the removal of any items that could cause danger, are only some of these activities and strategies.

No this is not out of a horror movie but rather a promotion for longevity and your health. Most people know the benefits of swimming. For the young - building aerobic capacity, improving mental capacity, physique and socialisation skills; for older people -low load bearing and an all-round exercise without overheating the body.

In 2015, as many as 271 people died by drowning in Australian waterways. This figure attests to a 1.9% increase in the number of drowning deaths in 2013 - 2014 and a 30% increase in the number of young children who lost their lives to drowning in the same period.
