One thought on “Nearly half of Australia’s year 6 students can’t swim 50 metres or tread water for two minutes”

  1. It’s concerning to hear that nearly half of Australia’s Year 6 students are unable to swim 50 metres or tread water for two minutes. Swimming is such a vital skill for safety and confidence in the water, especially in a country surrounded by coastlines. This highlights the need for improved access to swimming education and resources, particularly in schools and communities. We should advocate for programs that promote swimming lessons and water safety to ensure all children have the opportunity to develop these essential skills. What steps do you think can be taken to improve this situation?
