“Leucothea” Reached 18 Countries and 4 Continents
Athens, Greece 14 August 2026. The International Swim & Save Program “Leucothea” is already demonstrating remarkable international success, attracting users from 18 countries across 4 continents and confirming the global interest in freely accessible education for swimming, water safety, drowning prevention, lifesaving sport and survival only weeks after its launch.
Here is a summary of the results:
- Leucothea has been accessed from Greece, Germany, USA, Mexico, India, France, Ireland, Australia, Netherlands, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Sweden, UK, Bangladesh, Poland, Croatia, Saudi Arabia and New Zealand.
- People from Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania discovered the programme demonstrating geographical diversity.
- This early international reach shows the potential of digital education to bring together people with different cultural, geographical and aquatic backgrounds, without geographical or financial barriers.
- These countries range from nations with long-established swimming and lifesaving traditions to countries where access to formal aquatic education is limited.
- Leucothea is a free international online educational programme covering a broad spectrum of aquatic knowledge (drowning prevention, water safety, swimming awareness, personal survival, humanitarian lifesaving, rescue skills, first aid, resuscitation, lifesaving theories and models, fair play, Olympism and lifesaving sport).
- Educational resources capable of reaching people directly through their computers, tablets and mobile phones can play an important supporting role on drowning prevention.
We invite individuals, families, teachers, students, swimming instructors, lifeguards, lifesavers, coaches, schools, universities, youth organisations, community groups, swimming and lifesaving clubs, organisations, and federations in every country of the world to use the programme freely, at their own pace and from wherever they live here: https://leucothea.vercel.app/
