Learn to Swim.... Save your life!

A new study has found that 1 in 3 (33%) Australian parents with children under five are not taking them to swimming lessons, even though nearly a quarter (23%) said they, or a family member had experienced a near-drowning event. During Learn2Swim Week (23rd September to 2nd October), hundreds of swim schools around the country are offering free swimming lessons to children under five to teach children the lifesaving skills they need should they get into trouble in the water. Kulasegaram Sanchayan talks to Pancha Thambo a veteran swimming coach who has trained swimmers for the Australian Swim Team, several junior National age record holders, Metro & State record holders, and age group championship winners about the benefits of learning to swim.
