All of my life I have loved the Australian life of heading to water as soon as the weather got warm.

I have enjoyed all water sports – snorkelling, skiing, surfing, swimming, scuba, fishing, boating, and this weekend I am going to try kiteboarding!

Being an aquatic education instructor I am so passionate about everybody who lives in Australia enjoying all of our wonderful waterways and sports in a safe way. We are so lucky in Australia that everybody has the opportunity to learn how to appreciate and enjoy so many different types of water and to swim for fitness.

This Australia Day enjoy the water with respect and if you can not swim get organised and learn. You are missing out on so much!!!
