YOUPSA children take swimming lessons
Swimming lessons for safety and empowerment
YOUPSA is now giving small groups of children the opportunity to take weekly swimming lessons. This has been a dream of ours for a long time. Most children in this country cannot swim. We are so pleased that we can teach our children how to swim safely. According to the NSRI (National Sea Rescue Institute), only 15% of South Africans can swim. The media report about horrific drownings almost every day. We at YOUPSA want all of our children to lose their fear of water and learn to swim confidently. This initiative is not only for their safety but also for their enjoyment and empowerment. The children have progressed so much in the short space of time. We are very proud of them!
