Australian Olympic gold medalist Ian Thorpe is joining forces with Swimming Australia to launch a new Junior Dolphins program designed to help teach kids water safety and to feel comfortable in the water.
Thorpe explained to the television show Sunrise why he believes the program is so necessary, especially as the Australian summer is fast approaching.
“It’s a sport where survival is the reason. You start out learning about pool safety, and then it progresses to a stage where you’re able to enjoy the water. Whether it’s in the backyard pool, down at the beach or river or any holiday you might go on. That’s what this is about. It’s about encouraging the social, the fun aspects of swimming for young people. It’s the first time Swimming Australia has created a program like this, the Junior Dolphins.”
This program has no competitive elements (aside from reduced fees for joining a swim club). Thorpe just wants to help children feel more comfortable in the water and have fun.
