We need your help to help continue our learn to swim program and help provide up to 100% subsidies for people struggling financially.


 

Teaching one of our male-only learn to swim classes

 

Support us to help provide up to 100% subsidies for students, as well as to launch the FIRST life-saving aquatic facility, delivering Learn to Swim & Ocean Safety Courses to Male-only and Female-only members of our community.

Drowning is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths, with men accounting for over 80% of coastal drownings, and people from culturally diverse communities consistently identified as being at high risk (Royal Lifesaving NSW). Yet, many lack access to inclusive swimming education tailored to their needs. We're here to change that.

We’re building Australia’s FIRST life-saving aquatic facility that delivers Learn to Swim and Ocean Safety Courses exclusively for male-only and female-only participants. This isn’t your typical children’s learning centre—it’s a comprehensive, community-driven initiative that tackles water safety holistically, offering:

  • Learn-to-swim lessons.
  • Ocean rescue skills.
  • Water safety workshops.
  • Access to appropriate swim attire.
  • And more, all designed to prevent drowning and save lives.

 

Our facility will be a game-changer, breaking barriers while addressing the unique needs of our community. We are driven by a mission to create generational change, instilling water safety skills and confidence in people of all ages and backgrounds for years to come.

 

By supporting us, you’ll help:

  • Save lives and reduce drowning incidents in vulnerable communities.
  • Provide affordable lessons and up to 100% subsidy for those in need.
  • Deliver culturally and religiously respectful programs.
  • Partner with industry leaders like Surf Lifesaving NSW, AUSTSWIM, and Speedo to ensure world-class programs developed in collaboration with these key stakeholders.

Our work is inspired by the Islamic tradition: “Whoever saves one life, it is as if they have saved all of humanity.”

Together, we can create a landmark facility that will make our waters safer for everyone, offering life-saving education and community empowerment. Your support will leave a legacy, creating safer waters for generations to come.
