A man in his 20s has died after being pulled unresponsive from a popular swimming hole in NSW ’s Royal National Park , as a campaign designed to prevent drownings is set to expand nationally.
Mostyn’s backing coincided with the announcement that Float to Survive’s message will go national with $300,000 in new total financial support over three years from Shark Island Productions andAttending a demonstration at Bondi Beach on Friday, Mostyn said she was part of a generation where every child learnt to swim, competed in school swimming carnivals and spent their holidays near the water.
“I can absolutely float,” she said. “But that’s not the experience of people who come to Australia as migrants or refugees, who are often getting into the water for the first time and have none of those basic skills. By 17 years they should be able to swim continuously for 400 metres; float, scull or tread water for 5 minutes.Float to Survive was founded by Hopkins, Waverley Council’s head lifeguard who features in the reality television showPiloted in the eastern suburbs, the campaign was expanded to western Sydney including Blacktown last year.Hopkins said he hoped the message “float to survive” would become as memorable and pervasive as “slip slop slap” and “don’t drink and drive”.
