Learning to swim - in a shipping container!
The centre is built in a twelve-metre shipping container which features a six-meter-long swimming pool, an office space for the instructor and change room for the students. In addition to some of the safety features, the pool is one metre deep allowing small children to stand in it. “This centre combats two critical issues we have identified, which is offering underprivileged children access to a safe swimming pool, which many communities do not have and secondly, by offering the lessons at no cost means there is no financial barrier”.
