BPL has committed to helping over 20,000 children across the communities we serve become more informed and confident about staying safe around water.
As part of this goal, our team will be visiting local schools to deliver engaging and age-appropriate assemblies focused on water safety—just in time for the summer holidays.
By equipping children with practical knowledge and techniques, we empower them to enjoy the water safely—whether at the beach, pool, or local lakes and rivers.”

We also plan to involve children already enrolled in our swimming lessons by participating in Drowning Prevention Week, where they will be able to practice essential life-saving skills, such as learning the SAFE code, swimming in clothes and learning how to Float to Live.
These activities help children prepare for real-life scenarios and build their confidence in and around water.
Through this initiative, we hope to build a generation of water-aware young people who respect the water, know how to respond in an emergency, and spread the message of safety throughout their families and communities.”
