Swim Stars is committed to combating drowning in Dakar, with a triple objective

For 5 days, the Swim Stars swimming school taught its AUTO-RESCUE® anti-drowning program in Senegal to alleviate the scourge of drowning among Dakar’s youth. A solidarity initiative run in partnership with the Swim Kids swimming school, Novotel Dakar and local associations.

5 days, 10 swimming lessons, a dozen activities, 60 children trained in life-saving techniques, and a local swimming school trained by our Swim Stars teams in the AUTO-RESCUE method to ensure that this teaching continues.

An intervention with a triple objective

1. Teach good aquatic reflexes to children from 3 local associations

2. Passing on its know-how so that the local Swim Kids swimming school can continue to train youngsters.

3. Share its water safety awareness program S.A.F.E. and supply equipment (caps, goggles, swimsuits, etc.).

Auto-Rescue THE solution to reduce the risk of drowning

The program AUTO-RESCUE® PROGRAMprogram from age 3was created by Swim Stars with a clear objective: learn to save yourself before you learn to swim, and develop lifelong survival reflexes.

For 2 lessons a day, the Swim Stars coaches were in the water with the apprentice swimmers to teach them the fundamentals of the program: breathing, buoyancy, propulsion and movement.

The level is validated by passing the AUTO-RESCUE® test: jumping, floating, swimming and getting out of the water on your own.
