About the episode

Royal Life Saving Australia recently released a report that had some pretty disturbing statistics, including the fact that most primary school kids can't swim 50m by the end of primary school. With drowning rates increasing 10 fold by the time kids are 20, it's never been more important to ask whether we're ok with the swimming skills of our kids? This week to talk to the CEO Royal Life Saving Australia, Justin Scarr, about why it's so important to make some cultural changes.  Libby and Georgie x We LOVE answering listener questions so if there's something you'd like to ask us, shoot us a DM HERE or write us an email (we accept all things!) -  [email protected] Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.playonmedia.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
