Surf Therapy Empowers Young Women

Empowering Through Waves and Water Safety

This week, our sports coaches launched the Shewana Surf Therapy programme with a new group of young women.

This special programme builds:

• Water safety skills
• Confidence and female empowerment
• Mental wellness and coping skills - all through learning to surf

Lesson One: Immersion

The first session focuses on belonging, trust, and facing fears together, one small step at a time. Every wave becomes a chance to grow. 

Summer Water Safety Begins

On a water-filled note, we also kicked off our summer water safety lessons with the youth from the Butterfly Centre!

These sessions help young people learn:

• Essential water safety skills
• Confidence in the water
• Calmness and emotional well-being

Plus - they're full of fun and smiles!

Together, we are building strong minds, confident bodies, and safe swimmers, one wave at a time.
