Swim For Life, a social marketing initiative by Water Safety New Zealand, is using a television campaign, “Baby In The Water”, to encourage people to learn to swim. Three scenarios show people struggling with water safety, appearing as babies from under the surface of the water.
A fisherman flounders in the sea, as helpless as a baby until his mate pulls him into the boat. A man stands at the edge of the sea, afraid to join his family. A teenage girl falls out of the security of an inner tube and is washed away by the current of the river.
“If you’ve never learnt to swim, you’re like a baby in the water”.
