During this time, students will take part in a fun, hands‑on lesson focused on water safety. They’ll learn how life jackets help keep people safe in and around the water, and when they should be used.
In the lesson, students will practise:

💦Floating with the support of a life jacket
💦Moving through the water while wearing a life jacket
💦The ‘help position’ to conserve energy and stay afloat
Students will also learn where life jackets are essential, including on boats, near rivers, while rock fishing and in emergencies 🚨

Ready to take your diving to the next level? 💦
Whether you’re a Learn to Swim student or just looking to sharpen your pool skills, a great headfirst dive starts with the basics.
3 Quick Tips for a Smooth Dive:
🔹 Chin to Chest
Tuck your chin in tight. This helps your body follow your hands and keeps your entry clean.
🔹 Streamline is Key
Reach your arms long and squeeze your ears. Think of your body as a sharp arrow cutting through the water.
🔹 Look, Don’t Leap
Focus on a spot just past the edge of the pool, not straight down.
Safety First: ⚠️
Always make sure you are in designated deep-water areas before practising dives. If you see a “No Diving” sign, it’s there for a reason!
