To talk about marine pollution and make the next generation aware of the environmental impact it has on biodiversity, Swim Stars decided to put its swimming lessons to good use and organize a week on the theme of ecology.
Why not take advantage of the fact that the children are in the water to talk to them about the health of the planet’s waters?
During the week, Swim Stars coaches will focus their educational exercises on initiating dialogue around pollution and environmental protection.
Children will become aware of the importance of recycling thanks to aquatic trails and waste sorting workshops, all while working on their skills.
Floating and sinking objects will come into play and become waste to work on immersion and movement in a fun and educational way.
The environmental cause is close to our hearts, especially the issue of marine pollution. So we thought: why not take advantage of the fact that the children are in the water to talk to them about the health of the planet’s waters!
Reducing the impact of plastics is a major challenge and, at our level, we want to help change things. The adults of tomorrow are part of the solution!
The animations will take place during the AUTO-RESCUE and Apprentissage courses scheduled during the week of February 27 to March 05 in Swim Stars pools.
The coaches will work on the pedagogy and learning of the students as they do on every course, with the difference that the floating and sinking equipment will be used for fun and educational courses and workshops; their names will be diverted into waste names to raise awareness of the impact of plastic waste, pollution and recycling.
You don’t need to bring any extra equipment, just your usual pool bag (swimsuit, towel, cap, flip-flops)!
Students will take part in workshops and mini-quizzes during their session. We invite you to ask them after the lesson what they have learned.
This page is also here to help you and your family exchange ideas throughout the month and beyond: tips, suggestions for solutions to reduce your impact, ideas for workshops, games, definitions and a whole host of useful information to fuel the dialogue at home and all around you.
