Everyone needs to Learn to Swim and be safe around the water
Important Life Skill
Learning to swim is one of the most important life skills that you can. We are blessed to be surrounded by water and have gorgeous swimming holes to be active in the water. We believe everyone needs to learn to swim, to help you stay safe in and around the water.
Learning to swim opens up so many opportunities to be active around the water. Whether you're interested in water sports such as surfing or water skiing, favourite Kiwi pastimes like boating or fishing, competitive swimming or other aquatic sports, or being active in the water for your health and fitness, everyone needs to have learnt to swim.
Registered Swim Schools
New Zealand has plenty of Learn to Swim Schools around the country, so there is sure to be one close to you. There is no time like the present to learn to swim, whether you are a baby, teenager or adult!
To help you find a quality swim school near you, we are about to launch a Registered Swim Schools program. Watch this space for more information over the coming months.
Play It Safe By The Water
We know Kiwis love to hit up their local waterhole over the summer, but it’s important to do so safely. Sadly, New Zealand has one of the highest drowning rates per capita in the developed world. We want to see Kiwis sharing their love for the water with each other whilst knowing how to stay safe around all bodies of water. And always remember to look out for your mate.
