Water Safety Week 1st December – 7th December
Summer has officially started, and as the weather warms up, there’s no better time to highlight the importance of staying safe around water. This week, we’re proud to join the celebration of National Water Safety Week, bringing essential skills and awareness to our community.
Throughout the week, our swim students will take part in a variety of practical and engaging water safety activities, including deep-water experiences, lifejacket practice, and guided discussions about safe behaviour in and around aquatic environments. These hands-on sessions are designed to build confidence, strengthen survival skills, and prepare swimmers for real-life situations.
This year’s theme, “Water Safety Scenarios,” adds an exciting challenge. Each class level will be presented with a unique scenario to work through as part of their Water Safety Sequence within the Swim & Survive curriculum. To help simulate realistic conditions, students are encouraged to complete these activities without goggles, giving them a more authentic understanding of how to respond safely in unexpected situations.
As we dive deeper into the summer season, National Water Safety Week is a timely reminder of how crucial it is to respect the water, stay informed, and always be prepared. Stay safe, stay alert, and enjoy the season responsibly!
