We recently completed the PAWS (Primary Aquatic Water Safety) programme in school.
Some things we learned about:

  • Beach flags
  • SAFE (Stay Away From Edges)
  • Float like a star and fist in the air
  • Rip current survival
  • Farm safety
  • Emergency services
  • Inland waterways
  • Pool safety
  • Rescue techniques- and specifically to never enter the water to help
  • Boat safety
  • Signposts and what they mean
