Help our children learn to survive in and around water this summer!

Nationwide

As a nation surrounded by water, it’s crucial our children learn lifesaving water education to know how to survive.

Your donation will fund the Water Skills For Life programme which is taught in local pools near you.

Our aim is to ensure every child has access to essential aquatic education so they are better prepared for a lifetime of living next to oceans, lakes, waterways and rivers in our beautiful country.

In 2017, 105 people lost their lives to drowning and tragically, most drownings and related injuries are preventable. With your help we can give more children the water safety skills that will set them up for life!

Learning to swim in isolation isn't enough - true survival comes when you are skilled in all forms of aquatic education and Water Skills For Life teaches just that.

In conjunction with Swimming New Zealand, where possible, children are taught Water Skills for Life at their school or at a local community pool. with your support we will be able to teach more children to stay safe this summer.

Water Safety New Zealand's involvement (page creator)

We are Water Safety New Zealand (WSNZ) which is a charitable organisation with a mission to get the drowning toll down to zero. We can do this by changing people's attitudes and behaviour around water.

About us

As New Zealanders, we love the water - whether playing or surfing in it, boating or sailing on it, or simply enjoying our stunning coastline, beaches, lakes and rivers.

Sadly, every year, a large number of Kiwis lose their lives to drowning.

At Water Safety New Zealand, we believe we can achieve the goal of zero drowning - but to do so, we need your help.

Make water safety a priority for you and your family - learn to swim, wear and use the right safety equipment, learn survival skills and most importantly keep your loved ones, especially young children, close.

Lets enjoy this amazing country and its waterways together, safely.
