NSRI CAPE TOWN - The National Sea Rescue Institute has built another survival swimming pool, this time in Kwazulu-Natal.It aimed to teach basic swimming skills at the Oshabeni community school at Port Shepstone.
The institute's drowning prevention manager Andrew Ingram said they aimed to create a generation of adults who were able to swim. "It was through fantastic teamwork that we can build the survival swimming centre on record time and deliver it to a school in a low resource setting. Under very difficult conditions, it educates 948 learners. Without the support of the local businessmen, getting it off the delivery truck, would have been impossible."
