The lessons and activities will guide children through Water Safety at home, on farms, in swimming pools, rivers, lakes and of course at the beach.
Splash the Bear and River the Otter will show children how to stay safe at these locations, and how keep their family and friends safe too!
By taking part not only will children be safer on or near the water, they can also become a PAWS HERO! All resources can also be found by visiting www.teachpaws.ie
