Swim-Best Academy is concerned about the high number of drownings occurring daily in the community from rivers, dams, and residential pools. Learning to swim has many benefits, including reducing drowning occurrences, providing a healthier lifestyle, and allowing swimming as a career or recreation. The public should take precautions like having adult supervision for minors swimming and remaining calm while swimming with proper paddling and floating gear. Swim-Best Academy encourages community members in Keyagile of all ages to take swimming lessons to address this issue and challenge misconceptions that "Blacks Can't Swim."

Sir/Madam

There’s an enormous pool of drowns

In recent times there’s been a high worrisome number of drownings in our community on a
daily basis from rivers, dams and residential pools.

It is very much essential for the public at large to equip themselves with the skills of
swimming for a number of reasons
 It will reduce the hiking occurrence of drowns
 It provides a healthier lifestyle
 It can be pursued as a full time career
 It’s great for recreation purposes

Furthermore the public can take several precautions to curb/prevent drowning such as
 Minors/kids should always swim under adult supervision
 When swimming one should always stay calm, breathe and always paddle
 Beginners should always wear protective floating gear not to drown

We can’t be comfortable with this outrageous number of drowning reports in our black
community, it only perpetuates the myth that “Blacks Can’t Swim”. Our community
members across all age groups who resides in and around Keyagile should make use of
organisations that offer swimming lessons such as SWIM-BEST ACADEMY.

Yours Faithfully
