Surf Life Saving Australia and the Australian Navy have joined with Phuket’s lifeguards for some marine safety training at Patong Beach.

 

About 100 young people and teenagers from around the island joined in the training as part of the project ‘Australia – Thailand Cooperation of Marine Safety for Youth’. The project is aimed to stimulate swimming skills and first aid knowledge to help save people from drowning.

Great stuff from SLSA and the RAN, now just need more parents and those in power to understand the importance of teaching kids to swim.

Well done Australia!!

Except the lifesavers will spend all night screwing tourists and the students are only there for the free stuff.
