Many of South Africa's youngsters are being introduced to water activities on the sea, rivers and lakes, without truly understanding the potential dangers
this exposure brings. Still others drown accidentally while cooling off in a local water spot, largely due to lack of attention, and ignorance of basic water safety rules.
Recent tragedies also indicate that children from inland areas are at greater risk when holidaying at the coast, due to unfamiliarity with local sea conditions. They
often don't have access to the information and education that would enable them to make safer choices when deciding to enjoy our coastline or inland waters.
Whilst there are a number of excellent programmes teaching children to swim, Sea Rescue's WaterWise project is a series of workshops aimed at raising a generation of sensible
and capable water users. By simplifying our Sea Rescue training syllabus, the WaterWise workshops are able to teach core skills.
