Life in the
Pool at Frankie Frog Swim School
Dear Roger and the Water Safety New Zealand Team
The splash and dash of term 1 has past and I have time to report back to
you about life in the pool at Frankie Frog Swim School.
The "Swim For Life" banner is proudly displayed at the deep end of our
pool, it has been a huge talking point in the swim school. It gives us
plenty of scope to remind parents the importance of lessons and
vigilance. The Swim For Life street sign has also proved to be a big
draw card with at least 2 people a week dropping in off the street. We
are located on a quiet street and I had first thought the sign was
wasted on us, but no, we have had many new bookings from people who stop
while using the road as a short cut to a main road. Thank you for both
of these wonderful tools which help us promote the importance of Learn
to Swim and Survive.
The accompanying photo is of Anne and three of her students Ella,
Claudia and Maddy doing "Boat Week" skills. The kids love the
opportunity to swim in clothes and life jackets and practice falling
into water and been disorientated. This group of girls managed to stay
afloat and tread water, in their clothes, for 6 and half minutes. "Boat
Week" is a very important part of our programme.
Thank you Water Safety New Zealand for your support and the opportunity
to co-brand. All the staff at Frankie Frog Swim School are proud to be
part of the Swim For Life initiative and work tirelessly to get through
to parents and children the importance of water safety.
Yours in Swimming

Hi Roger,
I would like to share my experience with SFL with you.
Congratulations Water Safety New Zealand.
Swim For Life is fantastic! The national promotion has achieved huge
awareness in the community. The television advertising has effectively
communicated the importance of being involved in a water safety and
swimming skills programme. The marketing resources are very visual and
first impressions are very appealing.
The logo has an immediate association with a swimming programme. The
caps are great (everyone wants to wear one.) They offer opportunity to
promote a healthy environment, swimmers health and make a swim teacher’s
task so much easier when teaching back float.
JC Swim schools philosophy is to provide water safety and swimming
skills that will give a greater chance of survival in a water emergency
situation. Our goal is to swim 200 metres proficiently.
Our partnership with Swim For Life has given us opportunity to
strengthen that philosophy. The many schools involved in our swimming
programme are keen to have as many of there swimmers competent in swim
and survive skills and as soon as they are, 200 metres is the goal. They
want a 200 metre Swim For Life certificate
Thanks again
