The final month before spring is here! 🌱

August is a great time to keep charging ahead with swimming skills before we start heading back outdoors and enjoying the beaches, rivers, lakes and waterways Auckland has to offer.

Swimming through winter helps swimmers keep building confidence, strength and water safety skills, so they are ready for warmer weather adventures.

River Safety Focus Continues

Our River Safety focus continues this month, with swimmers learning practical skills for moving water. Lessons will include communication signals, river chain crossings, unexpected entries, safe floating, feet-first positioning, and how to exit the water using objects like ropes or branches.

These activities help swimmers understand that river safety is about more than swimming ability. It is about teamwork, communication, decision-making and knowing what to do when things do not go to plan.
