Why Learning to Swim matters to Bahamians and us:
- Over whelming majority of Bahamians do NOT know how to SWIM!
- The Bahamas is an island nation – 97% covered with water
- Safety – Be proactive, why wait for a national disaster
- Fitness – help in the fight against obesity
- Fun – Bahamian are losing out on all the water activities that can be enjoyed: boating, scuba diving, tubing, snorkeling, fishing, etc.
- Environmental Awareness – how can we protect and preserve the sea, one of our greatest natural resources, if the Bahamian people are not able to appreciate and experience it with their own eyes.
- Swimming Scholarships for Colleges
- Job opportunities – Tourism, Defense Force, Water sports, Scuba Divers, Fishing, Scientific Research, etc.
