Having fun in the water while saving lives

SplashSave is a social enterprise with a mission to provide every child with the opportunity to learn to swim.

We provide fun swim teaching materials, The SplashSave Programme, to parents and caregivers of 0-5 year old children so they can enjoy the fun and rewarding experience of teaching their whānau to swim.

The The SplashSave Programme covers everything from baby's first bath, all pre-school swim skills, right through to water safety at beaches, rivers and on boats.
