 * SWIMMING LESSON SHOULD BE FREE!**

Hands up if you can swim? Keep your hand up if you can swim confidently. Now keep your hand up if you can get yourself out of trouble in the water? Look around. Not many, hey? How many people drown in New Zealand’s waters. Far too many. Lots of these drownings could avoided if people had the life skills of water safety and knowing how to swim.

So what stops lots of Kiwis learning how to swim. It could be the cost. On average half an hour lesson once a week for ten weeks cost at lest $130. For a lot of Kiwi families that makes swimming lessons unaffortable. I think swimming lessons should be cheaper or even free!

As I said earlier in my speech water safety & knowing how to swim are important life skills. Especially here in New Zealand as we are an island and we are surrounded by water.

No matter where you live in New Zealand, you’re not far from some form of water whether be sea, lake or river and that’s why I think that everyone in New Zealand should have the opportunity to learn how to swim. ||
