Swimming is a large part of an Australian Summer. As the weather warms, many Australian’s opt for days by the beach, river, lake or backyard pool. Many children may even celebrate their birthday with a pool party! There are so many opportunities for children and adults to ignite their social life if they know how to swim.
Swimming is fun!
Unfortunately, many adults and children are unable to share in this enjoyment and instead choose to avoid aquatic environments all together. Even activities such as kayaking, canoeing and water sports can be stressful for those who have not learnt to swim. For young people this can mean missing out on social occasions, being unable to participate in school sports or activities on school camps.
It is not only children that suffer from not knowing how to swim. For adults this could mean missing out on a beach holiday, a riverside camping trip or simply playing with their family comfortably at the pool.
Of the 249 people who drowned in Australian waterways this past year, 218 of them were aged 18 and over. It may come as a further surprise to hear that those aged 35-44 years accounted for the highest number of drowning deaths.
You are never too old to learn how to swim. Adult swim lessons are designed to provide adults of any age and swimming experience with the knowledge and skills to develop and improve their swimming and water safety skills. Allow yourself to enjoy the water this Summer!
