WSI AquaDash is a fun ‘Endless Runner’ game that’s not just easy to learn and great fun to play, but will also remind Players to ‘make safety second nature’ when swimming outdoors.
Players control ‘Splash’ the bear as he navigates the joys and pitfalls of outdoor swimming. Choose between a Beach or River/Lakeside setting and help Splash collect points by adhering to Safety Flags, collecting Lifejackets, taking Swimming Lessons or calling 112 for Emergency Services, while avoiding jeopardies that include Fast Currents, Murky Water, drifting Junk, Rip Currents, or simply staying in the water too long!
If Splash does encounter difficulties, his wise friend ‘River’, the otter reminds him through questions on ‘best safety practices’ for safe swimming outdoors, with correct answers required for the Player to continue their journey.
The game has been developed as a part of the Primary Aquatics Water Safety (‘PAWS’) programme for schools, and is presented by ‘Water Safety Ireland’, the statutory, voluntary body and registered charity established to promote Water Safety and reduce drownings in Ireland.
