Rotorua youth will be able to feel more confident when braving the elements of open water swimming thanks to a free programme.
The Kauria Te Moana programme aims to help young people to learn open water safety skills which they will put into practice at the Banana Boat OceanKids event at Tikitapu (Blue Lake) next month.
Last year the event was cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions,.
Kauria Te Moana is free and for 7-to-10-year-old Rotorua children who successfully apply.
