LANGWARRIN Park Primary School students donned beach gear last week as part of a campaign to highlight the importance of water safety.
The students took part in “Swim to School Week”. They spent the week learning dry-land water safety techniques, singing water-safety songs, and playing themed games.
Langwarrin Park Primary School principal Deb Haddow said “with a Kingswim pool onsite, the school offers two learn-to-swim programs each year and aims to build competency so that by Years 5 and 6, students can safely take part in Beach Days and water activities at Cable Park.”
“I strongly recommend schools get on board with Swim to School next year. It’s such a great opportunity to reinforce water safety for all ages in a fun way,” she said.
Kingswim general manager Rich Quail said “advocating for access to swim lessons and water safety is important year-round, particularly as families head to the water over summer.
“Kingswim is proud to champion Swim to School Week and help families with the information they need to keep their children and themselves safe around the water. Swimming lessons are important life skills and the best investment schools and families can make.”
