World Conference on Drowning Prevention in October 2019, Durban, South Africa
Back in 2017, Bryan and Dena attended the conference in Vancouver when SwimTayka was still a young emerging brand in the world of Charities and NGOs, and we were still finding our feet.
So attending this conference 2 years later, we were more focused on what we wanted to get from the event and the people we wanted to meet.
One of SwimTayka supporters, Becky Horsburgh travels from London to Bangladesh to teach the children to swim, here is an article that Becky has written that featured in Curiosity Magazine
THE children of Bimini can now enjoy the stunning marine environment that surrounds them with increased safety and confidence thanks to a groundbreaking partnership led by Save The Bays.
The environmental advocacy group partnered with SwimTayka and Waterkeepers Bahamas to offer free swim and lifeguard training to young Biminites, who responded enthusiastically and in considerable numbers to the opportunity to increase their self-assurance in and around the water.
You can make a big difference in Nepal this year and come and join SwimTayka to run its Drowning Prevention and Environmental Water Stewardship programme along the Trishuli River, in west of Kathmandu.
180 kilometers long Trishuli River is one of the best White Water Rafting destinations by both the guides and rafters as it offers an excellent white water thrilling roller coaster ride.
We are please to announce our Mexico project for this year. This is a four week project, from 14th July – 17th August, for volunteers with some experience in international travel, and who are willing to try to something new.
