Teen swims to celebrate first year of ‘patagonian’ summer in Argentina
A teenager from southern Argentina has swum a total of 20 days on the Patagonian coastline in a bid to raise awareness about sea life.
The 16-year-old boy, whose identity has not been released, has already set up a group called ‘Safari Club’ and has been surfing the sea since May, and has already had a couple of friends, who are also surfing, offer to take part in the swim.
He is planning to swim again on July 1, when he plans to make the most of his free time, by attending family and friends’ weddings.
“I wanted to be a part of the summer, but it was a little hard to do so, I was scared to go,” said the teenager, who only goes by his nickname Aava.
“The sea is a big part of life, so I was worried about the weather, but also because I am really shy.”
It is hard to get out in the open in the ocean because you are always afraid of sharks.
“Aava is part of a small group of people who are hoping to raise funds to buy a swimming pool, which they hope will provide them with a place to relax, and a place where they can spend a bit of time in the sun.
He says the funds will be used for the purchase of a swimming facility for the community, and to buy the necessary equipment for swimming.”
They want to buy me a swimsuit, a swim helmet, a helmet that is more comfortable than a regular swimsuit,” he said.”
If I go to a beach in Patagonia, I am not afraid, because I know that I can swim.
“Ava’s parents, who live in the coastal city of Barranquilla, are both surfing and they were very excited to see their daughter on the beach.”
She was very shy, she was scared, but she is a very happy kid,” he explained.”
So it was nice to see her happy and excited to go on the water.
“The group of about six people have been on the coast of Patagonias coastal city since May when they were surfing and the boy is not alone in being a part-time surfer.”
My friends are also going to go surfing, and it is a bit easier for them because they have not been surfing for so long,” he added.”
There is no other life like the sea.
The ocean is very beautiful.
“Avila is hoping to be able to continue surfing until July 1 and will be able swim for up to two hours a day, if he can meet his goal.”
We are really looking forward to our first day on the ocean,” he stated.
‘I don’t want to be a kid’: Parents of boy with autism speak out
The father of a boy with a rare neurological disorder who is learning to swim said he didn’t want his son to be “a kid” if he were to be left out of his swim classes.
Aboriginal Youth and Child Development Minister Michael Wood said he was saddened by the family’s decision.
“The children who attend the program should be able to participate in the program, but they shouldn’t be able just because they have a disability to not be allowed to participate,” Mr Wood told ABC News.
The ABC has spoken to about 15 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families with children who are enrolled in the Swimming in Spanish program at a swimming pool in Sydney’s inner west.
They said the programs was essential for them to have a chance at success in life and for their children to be able learn the language.

But some parents are worried about the impact on their children.
In a Facebook post on Monday, the father of one boy, who has autism and dyslexia, wrote that his son was learning in the swimming program.
He said he wanted the program to be open to children of all ages, including children with disabilities, to teach the children how to swim.

“[We are] just waiting for the next program to come in and we can get our children back into the pool,” he wrote.
His son is one of the kids in the swim program, with the other children being aged between four and eight.
Mr Wood said the Swirling in Spanish Program was one of about 400 Swinging In Spanish swimming pools around the world, with about 80 children from Indigenous backgrounds participating in the programme.
It was created in 2011 by the Swimmer’s Association of Australia to promote Swinging, which he described as a way for people with a disability or learning disability to enjoy the ocean and enjoy a good time in the water.
Swimming with a Disability, a non-profit organisation, supports the Swining in Spanish swimming program and provides the children with a range of activities for the children.
‘A beautiful way to spend a day’: Austin’s new swimming holes
Texas has some of the most beautiful swimming holes in the country, and Austin is hoping its new swimming hole will lure people back to its lakes and rivers.
The Austin Public Library opened the new pools at its Barton Creek Aquatic Center on Saturday and the park is currently inviting people to join in the fun by purchasing a one-year membership and paying a $10 admission fee.
“These are some of our best swimmers and the best spots in Austin, so it’s going to be a great opportunity for our visitors to come see for themselves,” park spokeswoman Jessica D’Cruz said.
D’Cruz says the new parks’ new pool is open to the public from 5 p.m. to 9 p..m., with the first five people in line being given a free swimming lesson.
The parks also has a new day-use area where visitors can take a dip in one of the pools, and it is open seven days a week.
