Mark Bone: Swimtastic swim coach on new data showing 30 per cent of New Zealanders cannot swim or float in the ocean for more than a few min

New data from the Beach and Coastal Safety Report - shows 30 per cent of New Zealanders cannot swim or float in the ocean for more than a few minutes. Our holiday drowning figures over summer were the worst in 40 years. Swimtastic swim coach, Mark Bone told Kate Hawkesby that's due to a lack of swimming lessons, the lockdown and the fantastic weather we've had. “I think we’re going to have a generation of kids that cannot swim well, that’s only kids and then you take the adults and they’re wanting to get out.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
