I think water skills training has disappeared from most schools because of the cost of maintenance and meeting regulation standards. It is now a second generation issue with parents who have no skills raising children with no skills. Add immigration to that issue and we get a human cost being paid, and ACC claims skyrocketing.
We are an island nation heading into an increased average heat climate. We need to rethink water skills training in our schools and on our beaches if we do not want to see these fatalities increasing year by year.
