Water Safety – Skills for LIFE

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn to swim and stay safe around water – regardless of their circumstances.

For many children, the cost of swimming lessons puts this essential life skill out of reach. Your sponsorship can change that.

Your Sponsorship. Their Future.

South Africa – £120 per child (R2500 exchange rates will vary)

Sponsor a full year of survival swimming and water safety education for a child in South Africa, giving them the opportunity to develop essential self-rescue skills, water confidence and a greater understanding of how to stay safe around water.

Scotland – £500 per child

Fund a Learn to Swim Bursary for a child facing financial hardship, removing barriers to swimming lessons and helping them develop essential aquatic skills and the confidence to enjoy the water safely.

More Than Just Swimming

Learning to swim can open up a whole new world for a child.

Beyond the lifesaving skills, swimming builds confidence, resilience, independence and self-belief. It creates opportunities for friendship, physical activity, improved wellbeing and participation in experiences that might otherwise feel out of reach.

But swimming ability alone does not make a child drown-proof.

Drowning prevention requires multiple layers of protection, including active adult supervision, safer environments, recognising hazards, understanding risks and knowing how to respond in an emergency.

That’s why water safety education is woven into every swimming programme we deliver, ensuring children develop not only practical swimming skills, but also the knowledge to make safer decisions around water.

Be the Reason a Child Gets Their Chance

Your sponsorship is more than a swimming lesson. It’s an investment in a child’s safety, confidence, opportunities and future.

Give a child the skills to stay safer, the confidence to explore and the opportunity to thrive.
