Project Silent

Drowning is Silent

Watch me   •   Swim with me   •   Teach me Right

Watch me
Swim with me
Teach me Right

SG Project Silent is a ground-up initiative by AquaFins founder, Mr Danny Ong to celebrate our swim school’s 15th Anniversary.

What is Project Silent?

Over the years, there were misconception and lack of understanding in the areas of drowning and prevention work. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has work tirelessly over the years since 2002 to develop policies and guidelines for countries to adopt. 

We are promoting the drowning prevention message that “Drowning is Silent” across the island. This project idea was inspired by the personal story of Dr John Francis, the Planet Walker.

  • Water Safety Pledge​
  • Ikrar Keselamatan Air​
  • 水上安全承诺
  • நீர் பாதுகாப்பு உறுதிமொழி

We pledge to respect water as an environment where our personal water safety is our responsibility.

As children, we pledge to have an accompanying adult who will watch us when we are swimming or playing in and around water environments.

As parents, we pledge to be free of distractions, as we keep watch over our children keenly when they are swimming or playing in and around water environments.

Kami berikrar untuk menghormati air sebagai persekitaran di mana keselamatan air adalah tanggungjawab peribadi kami.

Sebagai kanak-kanak, kami berikrar untuk membawa seorang dewasa yang akan sentiasa mengawasi kami semasa kita berenang, bermain di dalam ataupun di persekitaran air.

Sebagai ibu bapa, kami berikrar bahawa kami akan memberi perhatian sepenuh dan akan mengawasi anak-anak kami semasa mereka berenang, bermain di dalam ataupun di persekitaran air.

我承诺敬畏水，时刻谨记遵守水上安全。
我承诺不独自戏水游泳，不离家长视线。
我承诺专注看护孩子， 确保仅一臂之遥。

நாம், நீரையும் அதன் சுற்றுப்புறத்தையும் மற்றும் அதில் அடங்கிய பாதுகாப்பு நடவடிக்கைகளையும் கருத்தில் கொண்டு பொறுப்புடன் நடந்து கொள்வோம் என உறுதியளிக்கிறோம்.

குழந்தைகளாகிய நாம், நீந்தும்போதோ அல்லது நீர் அருகே விளையாடும்போதோ, எப்போதும் ஒரு பெரியவருடன் இருப்போம் என உறுதியளிக்கிறோம்.

பெற்றோர்களாகிய நாம், நம் குழந்தைகள் நீந்தும்போதோ அல்லது நீர் அருகே விளையாடும்போதோ, கவனச்சிதறல்களை தவிர்த்துவிட்டு அவர்களை பாதுகாப்புடன் கவனித்துக்கொள்வோம் என உறுதியளிக்கிறோம்.
