Swim Literacy as a Life-Saving Skill

Swim literacy goes beyond swimming strokes. It includes:

• Floating and treading water

• Safe entry and exit from water

• Recognizing hazards

• Helping others without putting yourself at risk

In emergencies like floods, boat accidents, or unexpected falls into water, swim literacy can make the difference between life and death.

Communities that invest in swim literacy programs create safer environments and empower individuals to protect themselves and others.
