Water Skills for Life: Getting in and out of the water safely

Water Skills for Life expects children to be able to get in and out of the water safely in any environment.

Providing participants with age and stage appropriate opportunities to gain entry and exit experience in a range of environments and situations is key to successfully achieving this skill set. It is equally important that kids understand when to use a particular type of entry or exit.
