Our partnership with The Pool + Shark Island Productions

Shark Island Productions and THE POOL film are proud to partner with Bruce ‘Hoppo’ Hopkins and FLOAT TO SURVIVE.

The Shark Island Productions philanthropic support is a three-year commitment, enabling the message and activities of FLOAT TO SURVIVE to expand nationally.

Shark Island Productions creates significant outreach and education programs with all of its films. The philanthropic partnership between THE POOL film and FLOAT TO SURVIVE will not only encourage more people to swim, but will aim to keep them safe in the water too.

The message differs from Surf Life Saving Australia’s mantra to ‘swim between the flags’ as it takes account that not all beaches are patrolled and even on patrolled beaches, people to get into difficulties away from flagged areas.

Supported by Sydney’s Waverley and Randwick Councils in NSW, which is marketing the message throughout the two local government areas this summer, the University of NSW is conducting  surveys this summer to see if the Float to Survive message resonates with their residents.
