Swim Kids Operation 10,000 is a fundraising campaign developed by UNCLE TOBYS to help Royal Life Saving Society - Australia raise awareness and funds to provide FREE or subsidised Swim and Survive lessons for 10,000 children who would otherwise miss out.
Drowning is a leading cause of preventable death in children aged 0-4 years. More than 50 children between the ages of 0-17 drown in Australia every year, highlighting the importance of swimming and water safety education for all Australian children. While many children are learning these skills, alarmingly thousands of Australian children are missing out because of a lack of access or through financial disadvantage.
Help UNCLE TOBYS & Royal Life Saving teach 10,000 less fortunate kids to swim by:
"Learning to swim is a vital safety skill that all Australian children should learn. We don't want children missing out because their parents can't afford the lessons." says Royal Life Saving Society - Australia CEO Rob Bradley. "Here's a real opportunity to help Aussie children learn valuable life time skills."

NO CHILD SHOULD MISS OUT
Research shows that children are most likely to miss out on swimming lessons if they come from lower socio-economic and disadvantaged areas, Indigenous communities, some multi-cultural backgrounds or if they live in rural or remote locations.
These children are the focus of Swim Kids Operation 10,000, which aims to raise money to fund Swim and Survive lessons for 10,000 less fortunate children.
