Water Safety for Schools
Water is part of the Kiwi way of life, and Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa helps local children in the village and throughout the Hurunui district develop the skills and confidence to enjoy it safely. Students take part in a water safety programme at the pools, learning essential survival skills such as floating, treading water, safe rescue techniques and how to respond in challenging situations. Focused on building confidence rather than competitive swimming ability, the programme gives young people practical skills that can stay with them for life.
