    “Follow 7 year old Joseph on his journey as he learns to swim and be safe in the water, mentored by Olympian Cate Campbell and Paralympian Matt Cowdrey. In Australia, drowning remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in children. Unfortunately, while many children are learning valuable swimming and water safety skills, alarmingly thousands of children are still missing out, which is putting lives at risk.”

    “It was amazing. We were paddling along when all of a sudden I heard this sound, like heavy breathing. I looked back, and was shocked to see a cute grey seal staring back at me. It was really friendly and tame – it swam right up to my board, and started playing with us. It nipped my paddle and then tried to climb onto my board – I had to go down on my knees because I didn’t want the little critter toppling me in.
