speech - Kids should know how to swim

SPEECH

How can you walk around normally knowing people drown less than every few days or even hours? AND WE ARE ON AN ISLAND SURROUNDED BY WATER and we’re drowning still. This problem should have been solved AGES AGO and this is so easy to solve! Would you like more people to drown?

Did you know that 47 people drowned in NZ 2017 to July 21, and were on an island for god's sake we're drowning because it's too much to support pools and lessons and yet we’re surrounded by WATER!!!! IT’S AN ISLAND And the government can easily solve it! For around $500 can help a pool’s safeness for quite a bit and possibly save so many lives in the future.

NZ school pools a disappearing of the face of NZ because of money. We’ve lost 156 school pools and there's only 130 left in NZ. The government says no to giving a few dollars every few weeks to NZ schools. This is a problem we need to address to the government of NZ to get our school pools back.

Did you know 7 out of ten of NZ young kids can't swim to save their lives in 2012 (sadly) and that's just concerning because if there's a flood or worse they only have a small chance of making it.

Some can’t even afford to do the swim lessons because it's too expensive or there's no pool nearby and that makes me mad.

Kids should be given a free chance to swim. So we can make a safer future with fewer losses and more markopolo!
