<h3><strong>About the Remote Pools Project</strong></h3>
<p>Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are up to 3.5 times more likely to drown than other Australians, particularly if they live in a remote area. Access to a safe place to swim, swimming lessons and water safety education are all key to preventing drowning, yet pools in remote communities have historically been open irregularly, or not at all.</p>
<p>The Remote Pools Project was founded in 2021 as an initiative of the YMCA of the Northern Territory. Our mission is to keep pools open in remote communities and maximise their health, economic and social potential.</p>
<p>Pools are the best classroom to learn swimming and lifesaving, reducing the risk of drowning. Yet they are so much more than a place to swim. Pools can improve hygiene and protect against infections; create ongoing training and employment opportunities; improve physical and mental health; increase school attendance; and become thriving community hubs.</p>
<p>Our vision is that in every remote community across Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people feel safe and proud to work, learn and gather at their local pool.</p>
