Water safety is important to learn because too many people die in New Zealand. Learning water safety when you are young is so important as you are prepared for what is out there in the future.
Water is cold. You can get cold shock from falling into cold water. Cold shock makes you get a very cold feeling then you struggle and then you drown.
When you go on a boat you always need to wear a lifejacket so if you fall off the boat a lifejacket will always keep you up. To make sure your lifejacket fits, put two fingers down the strap and make sure they don't fit down.
When you are in a boat, canoe or a jet ski you need a radio or a cell phone to contact people if you capsize. It must be in a sealed bag so it does not get wet.
I think learning water safety is important because statistics prove that we lose a lot more people than any other country because of drowning.
