Benefits of the Tibetan swimming program

Tibetan Swimming Program

Tibetan refugees on the Northern beaches are getting summer ready with the Tibetan swimming program running every Saturdays over October and November. The program was started by Water skills for life, a non-profit organisation in 2012. They teach basic swimming and water safety skills to the Tibetans. Swimming is not merely a necessary survival skill but a way of life in Australia.
