"1 in 5 children can't swim"...why not?!

When we had to choose to work within a certain group, the one that stuck out the most was Alices pitch about swimming.

'Swimming is a life-skill but one in five adults and one in five children across the UK can't swim at all'

This statistic shocked me and I wanted to be involed in a project that tried to look at why this is the case, as part of the National Curriculum children should be leaving school being able to swim 25m, but this isn't the case. I also realised that it would involve alot of  beautiful visuals in the pool I wanted to push my skills as a camera woman and boost my confidence. I realise that at current I still not fully confident with filming but this project gives me the scope to show my creativity and learn a unsual way to shoot.

This project will allow me to specialise in an area that I want to persue as a career and it gives me the responsibilites that I have to consider when being a professional.
