Water Skills for Life Network: General Chat

Welcome to the Water Skills for Life Network! This is where short thought-provoking blogs are designed to support kaiako, swim instructors, and educators as we shift towards teaching real-world, age-appropriate water safety. Each post explores key ideas behind the WSFL refresh — from simulating open water risks in pools to understanding child development in aquatic learning. Backed by practical tips and honest kōrero, the blogs aim to spark reflection, inspire change, and help us all play a part in reducing drowning rates across Aotearoa.
