We Swim: Saving Lives in Nepalese Communities | Sydney News

For many Nepalese Australians, New Year’s Eve isn’t a night of celebration—it’s a time of dread, fearing drownings in rivers and beaches. Now, the federal government and Royal Life Saving Australia are launching We Swim, a $5 million initiative to train community leaders from diverse backgrounds—including Indian, Chinese, and Korean heritage—to teach water safety in culturally relevant ways. Designed to bridge trust gaps and address real risks like murky waters and cultural misconceptions, the program also introduces a new drowning-tracking dashboard targeting high-risk multicultural zones like Georges River. With multilingual signage and local champions, We Swim aims to save lives—one swim lesson at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
