The language and culture of Australian swimming pools
Swimming is life skill for Australians. And while the numbers of drownings in Australia are reducing, on average they still claim the lives of at least four people per week.
One of those four is generally someone who was born overseas. In this Brisbane swimming pool, they're doing something about it.
Celebrities take on Adult Swimming Lessons
Athletics legend and sports pundit, Colin Jackson, and BBC Breakfast TV presenter, Naga Munchetty, have started to learn to swim with us at the ages of 52 and 44 respectively.
According to research carried out by Swim England, one in five adults in Britain are unable to swim. Colin and Naga are determined not to be part of this statistic and recently began swimming lessons with Everyone Active.
