THINKING about water safety in our fast-developing, flood-prone cities?
Wondering what really makes a swim teacher qualified, and what could happen if they aren’t?
Life & The City podcast hosts Aida Ahmad and Farid Wahab make waves with a conversation on aquatic education and safety.
Joining them is Wong Foong Inn, founder of both Aquatic Star Academy and Swimming Teachers Association of Malaysia (STAM).
Together, they dive into the often-overlooked responsibilities of swim instructors, from the legal duty of care to the need for certification in a highly unregulated landscape.
Wong also shares the emotional journey that drove her to champion water safety for everyone and how STAM is setting the standards by emphasising on the need to obtain certifications on CPR and live-saving techniques.
Water literacy is a public health issue and not just a personal skill.
The Life & The City podcast series airs fortnightly, spotlighting issues that matter to urbanites.
