Symbolic move to launch swim program in Cronulla

Sixteen years after the infamous Cronulla race riots, a program to teach surf safety to men from diverse communities was launched at North Cronulla Beach.

On Sunday, members put two weeks of training at Auburn Pool into action as they hit North Cronulla Beach to learn from Sutherland Shire Council lifeguards and Surf Life Saving NSW trainers.“There’s so much symbolism behind why we chose Cronulla to launch this weekend; many of our participants had not returned to the shire since the Australia Day riots in 2005,” Mr Sattar said.

The Swim Brothers program has two main goals — to be the driving force of water safety for men and to create generational change in attitudes towards the beach in multicultural communities.
