Last month the Pacific Maritime Safety Programme (PMSP) was in Niue supporting the delivery of water safety lessons to Niue primary school children.
According to the New Zealand High Commission to Niue Facebook post, Water Skills for Life is a Water Safety New Zealand program that teaches children important skills that will set them up for a lifetime of safe activities in the water.
In Niue, the program is delivered by Niue Primary School teachers, in the pool at the New Zealand High Commission for junior students and in the natural environment for older students.
Water Safety NZ and PMSP provided refresher training to the teachers and run sea sessions focused on essential skills such as treading water, floating, rescues using everyday objects and the use of life jackets.
The PMSP is funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the International Development Cooperation programme, and delivered by Maritime New Zealand.
