This lesson develops students’ understanding of hidden water dangers and real-life scenarios. It challenges myths, explores how quickly risk can escalate, and teaches key responses such as Float to Live and how to get help.
Students will leave with the confidence to recognise danger, make safer choices, and respond in an emergency.
