In South Africa, many children grow up without learning how to swim, and unfortunately, drowning is a serious problem. This project is working to change that and with your help through the Swim Safe program, we can reach even more kids!
Imagine being the one to teach children how to feel comfortable in the water, how to float, and how to stay safe. Even better... seeing them laugh, play, and enjoy the water with their mates. You’ll be making a real difference in the lives of kids in Port Elizabeth, where this program has already helped many children learn to swim thanks to the support of dedicated volunteers like you.
Your energy and enthusiasm are key to the success of this project. You’ll help kids become confident in the water through play, introduce basic swimming skills, and teach them how to stay safe if they ever fall in. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the progress they make and to know you’ve played a part in it.
Your day kicks off at 8:00am at a local pool in the township, about 20 minutes from where you're staying. The kids will already be buzzing with excitement, ready to dive into their lesson. Every half hour, new groups rotate through, giving you the chance to work with lots of children throughout the day.
School finishes around 2:00pm, and so do your lessons. There’s also now an indoor pool, which means lessons can continue rain, hail or shine!

Ik heb in Ecuador, Peru en Zuid-Afrika gewerkt en alleen maar positieve ervaringen en belevingen gehad. Zowel de projecten, de gastgezinnen, het vrijwilligershuis, alles was top!
