    • Challenges

      Our endeavour brings to light a number of challenges that need to be addressed:

      • We lose many lives to drowning.
      • We have a limited focus on monitoring and analysing drowning-related death and injury.
      • Our people have limited opportunities to learn basic swimming skills.
      • Our children don't learn basic swimming in government schools.
      • Our people have a minimal understanding of how to be safe in, on and around water.
      • Our people have minimal first aid knowledge for dealing with emergencies around water.
      • Our visitors from other regions often lack skills and knowledge for sale recreational use of waterways.
      • Our watercraft users lack understanding and respect for safety.
      • Our public beaches have no lifeguard services of other safety measures.
      • Our hotels lack a standardised approach to managing safety in swimming pools and at beaches.
      • We have a number of private pools, with and without licences, where safety needs to be improved.
