Why is it important to swim?

 It is important to swim because of other people that come where it's landlocked and they might drown because they’re not used to swimming. NZ has over 700 beaches. In 2018 68 people drowned and die (watersafety.org). There are 15,000 km of coastline, making it the 3rd longest coastline in NZ (wikipedia.org). Some people that are new to swimming take swimming lessons at the pools. It is important to swim so you can save one of your family members if you drown.


If you swim you will be able to save someone if they fall in the water. It is good to be able to swim so you can be confident to save yourself or someone else. 


When you swim you can help yourself stay healthy and strong. 


When you are able to swim you can prevent someone from drowning. In 2017 92 people died and mostly kids which is very sad.


 It’s a tradition to take your family and go to the beach and use the BBQ to get some food. When we go on the ocean kids and adults wear life jackets. When kids go on school trips overseas they have to wear a safety jacket to keep them safe. If someone is going to drown
