At the start of each year the Tall Poppies head down to the Polytech for professional swimming lessons.

The Tall Poppies are lucky to have the opportunity to develop their water safety skills with a series of one hour sessions. The lessons are to enhance any current lessons we are involved in with an emphasis on swimming to survive.

Learning basic survival skills helps our kids to be confident and safer on our beaches, in rivers, ponds and pools, in/on and around water so that they may grow into strong, safe and competent swimmers. Together all the skills build towards being able to swim longer and stronger with the end goal being able to swim 200m.
