No one should miss out on learning how to swim.

Swimming and aquatic activities are very much a part of the Aussie culture. However, many children across Australia don’t get the opportunity to learn how to swim.

In many communities, swimming and water safety education is simply not accessible. Children and adults from lower social or economic families, Indigenous or culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, or from regional and remote communities, are more likely to miss out.

The Swim and Survive Fund provides swimming and water safety lessons for children who have had limited or no exposure to water safety education.
