Aquatic education is based on the combined development of physical skills, critical thinking and building experience to ensure safer participation in a range of aquatic environments. This programme has been designed in three sections: in the classroom, at the pool and at the beach. Aquatic education is not purely physical or just about thinking; students need to understand all elements of learning to swim, water safety, survival and beach safety skills to participate safely in a range of aquatic environments.
Swimming New Zealand can tailor professional development workshops to meet the needs of your teachers. We can provide your school with a mixture of theory and practical based learning.
Included in this section is feedback from various schools on the Kiwi Swim Safe Programme
