What are Survival Swim Lessons and How are they Different?

The Kids Aquatic Survival School (KASS) program is very different to most swimming lessons. Regular swim lessons for 1 – 4 year olds are primarily water familiarisation, not survival lessons. One in every ten fatal drownings in Australia are children under the age of 4 so it only makes sense that these are the children that are also learning how to swim and float without floatation aids or parents holding them in the water singing nursery rhymes. KASS deliver Australia’s safest, most effective, accelerated aquatic survival program for non-verbal infants and young children. Our program focuses on aquatic survival skills…

A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark and absurd scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger than fiction true story, WICKED LITTLE LETTERS follows two neighbours: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women – led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) – begin to investigate the crime…
