Water Safety Rules Introduction
The ferry crossing
Levi, Tui and Hemi are travelling across a harbour with their whānau. Before the ferry leaves, an adult helps each child put on a correctly fitted life jacket. The children stay behind the safety rail and listen to the crew. When they arrive, they walk carefully on the wet wharf. Later, they see a ball floating near the edge of the water. The children do not climb down to get it. They tell an adult instead.
Notice the safe choices
Use the story and your water-safety knowledge to answer. In an emergency, get an adult and call 111 in New Zealand. Do not enter the water to rescue someone; tell an adult and follow their instructions.
