🏊‍♀️ Meadowlands takes Drakes Island 🏊‍♀️

We want to wish Amber, Kelly and Amy luck in their Drakes Island swim this morning!

The swim kicks off at 11:30am, with a 1.5km all round trip up and back to Drakes Island, all in aid of men’s prostate cancer.

The ladies are tackling the swim with no wetsuit, with water temperatures are about 16.5 degrees! 🥶

Let’s go team Meadowlands! ❤️

⭐️🏊‍♂️ SWIM SCHOOL STAR — JAMES! 🏊‍♂️⭐️

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to James for completing Stage 2 and already smashing it in Stage 3! 🎉👏
James has worked incredibly hard to build his confidence in the water, especially with putting his face in and swimming on his back. We’re so proud of the progress he has made! 💙

James can now confidently swim 5m on both his front and back completely unaided, and he can also float independently — a vital water-safety skill that every child should learn.

With the heartbreaking number of drownings we’ve seen this year, teaching children essential water-safety skills from an early age is more important than ever. 💙

We are SO proud of you, James! ⭐️ Now it’s time to work towards getting to the bottom of the pool and developing that swim to 10m unaided! 💪🏊‍♂️

Is your child lacking confidence in the water? Don’t wait — get them started on this important life skill today. 🌊

Lucas won our competition to win a year's worth of Swimming Lessons. Let's see how he's getting on!

As your child is settling into the new term, make sure you add swimming to their weekly routine. It provides them with water safety confidence and essential life-saving skills.
