Manaiakalani Swimming Technology Water Safe Pools2Schools
This post is about PT England School not having a pool in order to teach water safety lessons. In order to help with this problem Watersafe Auckland decided to bring their pool and set it up on their netball court. This helped the students to learn water safety, how to swim, and to feel confident while being in the water.
My post said that I think this was a good idea to help kids that may have a fear of water to help overcome that and to help them learn safety tips while being in the water.

ReplyDeleteI think it would be GREAT if every school was able to have a swimming pool, but realistically, I just don't think that it's possible. There is just not enough funds, at least here in the U.S. to provide this in every school. I agree with you that by having a pool and being able to properly learn water safety would be a great idea for children. Not only would it help the students learn to swim, but also boost their confidence about doing so. However, I beleive that the funds that could be spent or has been spent on this would be better used somewhere else.....like say more computers in every classroom? What do you think? Maybe there should be a meet in the middle place and only have a couple of pools located throughout the city used by the whole county school district. This would cut cost while allowing a great opportunity for our children. Just a thought.....
