SWIMSAFER WEEK IS HERE!
St Cuthbert's College
At St Cuthbert’s Swim School we believe learning to swim is a skill every child should receive. That’s why we are involved with New Zealand’s first ever SWIMSAFER Week running Monday 21 – Sunday 27 November. It is an opportunity to celebrate all the benefits learning to swim offers.
This special week is focusing on the benefits of learning to swim:
• Confidence in the water
• Fun with family and friends
• Learning to float
• Knowing how to react if you fall into water
• Being comfortable submerged in water
• Learning how to safely breathe while in the water
• Improved fitness
To mark the week-long education initiative, at our swim school we will be incorporating important messages regarding water safety into our classes, in particular relating to water activities during the summer months. We will also be running a colouring in competition for swim school students to enter with Aqualine prize packs up for grabs!
