International Water Safety Day: Babar’s Story

International Water Safety Day is 15 May each year. This year Surf Life Saving NSW has launched Babar’s story to mark the annual day of water safety awareness. The video takes viewers on a coastal experience that is shared by many inexperienced visitors to the beach. While the journey, in this case, is undertaken by a family from a culturally and linguistically diverse community. It is a story shared by those from our regional and remote communities along with many from our cities. Babar’s story aims to teach our communities that beach safety starts at home.
