SWIMMING DAY
The Born in Africa Learn to Swim Program has come to a close for 33 Wittedrift Primary students, each having received 12 lessons. Over the years, we have been able to teach more than 650 children to swim, starting with the basics of holding your breath under water and floating, to water safety and swimming strokes. This year lessons took place at Adventure Land and the learners absolutely loved every moment they could spend in the water. The program ended with a celebratory visit to the beach, where they were given a tour of the Sea Rescue base and operations, listened to a short talk and demonstration by local lifeguards and finally enjoyed the sand and sea.
