SwimSafer Program
Singapore Sports Council Came up with this program SwimSafer so that children can be equipped with water survival and safety skills so that they would know what to do prevent drowning and during drowning cases.
The previous NASSA syllabus does not really teaching the kinds water survival skills and even though the child might be a good swimmer, he or she might still drown because of injuries or in a total new enviroment e.g. the sea.
When fatigue sets in and the salt getting into the eyes might just some of the factors that might caused your kid to drown. We wouldn't want to experience drowning the first time when we are really drowning and struggling to survive don't we? What SwimSafer aims to achieve is to provide the skills and techniques to survive in water as well as lifesaving skills to save anyone who might be drowning.
Wouldn't it be great if you know that everyone in the swimming pool have the basic knowledge of lifesaving skills? You wouldn't worry that your kid would be drowning in any pools as everyone know the essential skill to save your kid and u don't have to only rely on the few lifeguards around the pool!
