Weekend Breakfast

This October the inaugural awareness Learn2Swim Week kicks off on the 2nd of October.  Learn2Swim ambassadors are calling on parents and grandparents to join the initiative to educate children under 5 years of age on water safety.  

A staggering 42% of parents said they had experienced a water emergency of a loved one.  The research commissioned by Poolwerx found that almost half of Australian parents rated their children’s water safety skills as poor or average.

Learn2Swim Week ambassador Laurie Lawrence, a former Australian Rugby Union Representative, Olympic and World Champion Swim coach spoke to Julia about the Learn2swim week.
