The Aqua English Project has determined that 9/10 refugees and new arrivals cannot swim and have a limited understanding of water safety which is further exacerbated by limited English comprehension. There is now an opportunity for collaboration to fix this problem... engage your organisation and clients in a unique project with real outcomes today.
