I recall last year’s summer blog was peppered with posts about swimming and waterways death toll. Such depressing figures last year but maybe this year will be different.
Children from Central Southland cool off at a pool party in Winton as they celebrated after success at Swim Safe Southland's learn-to-swim programme, that targets rural children. They won the Sealord Water Safety New Zealand Education Award last month.
A real positive start to the summer. Here’s hoping we all take a little more care around water this year.
