The Swim Reaper (New Zealand) – World Open Water Swimming Association

The Swim Reaper is a campaign by Water Safety New Zealand designed to make people stop and think before making bad decisions when swimming in open bodies of water.

About

The Swim Reaper is a reminder to everyone that, while it’s great to enjoy beautiful swimming spots, making bad choices around water can have very deadly consequences. Most drownings are preventable if people think about water safety first. The Swim Reaper campaign is designed to reduce the number of drowning deaths by targeting an at risk group in a humorous, but deadly serious way.
