EcoActive Swimming Gala 2024
Making Waves: EcoActive's Initiatives for a Safer, Brighter Future
Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing EcoActive Swimming Gala at the Retreat Swimming Pool. This event was more than just a celebration of swimming and competition—it was a showcase of EcoActive’s unwavering commitment to the community. Let’s dive into the remarkable work they do.
Drowning Prevention
EcoActive ensures youth safety around water through water safety talks in partnership with Lifesaving South Africa. Their Learn-to-Swim initiative provides weekly swimming lessons to over 500 grade four learners each year, significantly reducing drowning risks.
Dropout Prevention
EcoActive addresses the dropout crisis in underprivileged communities by providing academic and emotional support to high school learners. They offer structured tutoring and life-skills programs to help students achieve their educational goals.
Skills Development
Their skills development program combines sports discipline with life skills, fosters friendships, trains prospective lifeguards, and empowers youth with support from life coaches and counselors. Their Leadership & Mentorship Programme nurtures future leaders.
Supporting EcoActive helps children stay safe around water, remain in school, and develop essential life skills. It’s been an honor to capture their events and share their incredible work.
