Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur

Founded in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in support of global drowning prevention by the UN and WHO since 2021; helping people build resilience, awareness and mastery on and beneath the surface. Project Life Aquatic™ aims to game-change Malaysia’s water safety and swimming education to world-class standards, benchmarking successful models from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and other developed n

ations popularly known for the exceptional quality of water safety and swimming based industries around the world. Unlike other water safety and swimming programmes in Malaysia, Project Life Aquatic™ exposes participants to open water swimming and survival skills (lake, sea, river) as well as confined water survival skills (swimming pool). The project focuses on swimming techniques warranted for survival as well as lifesaving techniques, both on land and in water. Coaching are conducted by experienced instructors with no less than 20 years of water safety and swimming based coaching track records. Project Life Aquatic™ also is publishing books and modules to cater to the Malaysian needs in water safety and lifesaving.

Many adults feel so "alone" when it comes to their trauma of once drowning / witnessing drowning. We've heard many stories of adults shouldering this psychological "burden" and feel helpless when it comes to fighting the fear of deep waters.

What about you?

Do share, this may help the many silent, traumatic adults out there, by letting them know that 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲.

We thank you in advance. 💙

They first met us with a fear and anxiety of the deep. Having completed 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗺 & 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮 with us, now most of those who you see here have enrolled for our more advanced water therapy programmes. The dynamic Nithi family, for instance, participated in our 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 programme (having met us first in 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗺 & 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮 too), and are now 𝗣𝗔𝗗𝗜 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀!

A super-wow bravo to all of them! They didn't allow fear to take control. Mind over matter. This, is priceless! 😇

Speed, Stress, & Water.
Throughout history, mankind has never been stressed, anxious, and depressed like we are now. Why is this happening? We are pushing things too far, too fast, too competitive…and we don’t even understand why this is happening. What is it truly for?

In this super-fast world (that human’s have “innovated”), we end up mentally, physically and more importantly, spiritually, exhausted. Lost in the “purposeless” super-speed, “born to win”, smack-down environment. We are psychologically destroying ourselves and our children.

Water teaches us why life can’t always go fast, what more, super-fast. Water teaches us to take our time, sense and reflect, to understand each of our purposes, to learn it’s okay not to fight and struggle, that it’s okay just being you and take one step at a time. Water teaches us that it’s okay to go “slow”.

Most of the time (we never notice), calmness, steadiness, gentleness and valour win as opposed to hastiness, speed, worries and anxiety.

Water is life. Never fight with water. It always win.

Learn to submit and surrender.

Dr. Ayu & Dr Syai 😇

𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥!! 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗖𝗧 𝗭𝗢𝗡𝗘!! ⛔️
[An educational post we've adapted from the American Red Cross Life Guarding Manual, 2021]

When you’re faced with a CONSCIOUS AND MOVING VICTIM experiencing a water emergency, the risk of YOU (too) drowning may occur in the CONTACT ZONE. Read on.

𝗪𝗵𝘆?
1. Because the victim at that time can only ATTACH to anything to catch their breath above the water surface. If you’re too close, he/she will attach to YOU.

2. Entering the contact zone to rescue is a rescuer's LAST alternative.

3. If you decide to enter the contact zone, you need to be prepared with the right lifesaving skills and strong STAMINA.

4. Many lives (males, especially!) are lost when trying to 'rescue' a drowning victim.

5. If you have to enter the contact zone, make sure the victim is not CLINGING to you and DROWNING you together.

6. Several special techniques are taught to rescuers (release techniques) to escape from being hugged, pressed and drowned.

Therefore, always remember that entering the contact zone is the LAST option, and only for well-trained lifesavers.

What CAN you do to help?
“𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗛, 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗪, 𝗗𝗢𝗡’𝗧 𝗚𝗢!” 👇

1. Hold out a buoy, cloth, rope, wood, empty plastic bottles or anything you can reach (even your own clothes!) and allow the victim to be PULLED / PUSHED / FLOAT / TOWED.

2. SHOUT OUT LOUD so that the victim stays focused!

2. Always stay OUTSIDE THE CONTACT ZONE!!

Remember,
“𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑪𝑯, 𝑻𝑯𝑹𝑶𝑾, ...𝑫𝑶𝑵’𝑻 𝑮𝑶!”

We first met her in 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗺 & 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮 back in 2022, followed by our 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 (𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗲) programmes. She hasn't stopped since! Frustrated with her freestyle swims (like most of our clients), she then asked for our advice and guidance. This week, she completed her final session (6th), gently, gracefully swimming 1km. Now she's enrolling for our 𝗣𝗔𝗗𝗜 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲!

Congratulations Zam-san! 👏
This marks the beginning of more aqua adventures... for your body, mind & soul.
