Early this August Shane Gould and Milt Nelms are conducting swim clinics in two villages on the coral coast of Fiji as part of our Fiji community drowning prevention program. Like most developing countries Fiji has a huge problem with the number of deaths from accidental drowning each year caused by the very poor standard of swimming skills across the country.

We are pleased to be working with Outrigger resort and the two nearby villages of Malevu and Korotogo, from which Outrigger draws most of its employees, to conduct swim clinics for the 800 people in the villages.  We hope during this pilot program to quickly and dramatically improve the fundamentally important life skill of swimming for the people of these villages. In future we hope to conduct similar sessions with other villages around Fiji in association with other resorts. Thank you to Outrigger resort, our donors and Pacific Trade & Invest for their support.

If anyone would like to donate to support this work please email david@bathtubproductions.com we’d love to hear from you!
