About Us
Embers Aquatics was born out of a love of water, a drive to share the love of swimming.
Too many people drown each year, 372,000 every year – someone every 80 seconds.
Many of those deaths are preventable.
We are passionate about reversing that trend.
Professionals from Swimming and Lifesaving backgrounds have come together to deliver training to communities most at risk. Training Water Safety Ambassadors, Swimming Teachers and Lifeguards to keep coastal communities safe.
We are a social enterprise which means
100% of our profits are reinvested back into water safety initiatives.
