Schoolkids hit fast moving water in water safety programme | RNZ
Kayak slalom caught everyone's attention when Finn Butcher won gold at the 2024 Olympics - but before Paris, Butcher spent most of his time training at the Vector Wero Whitewater Park in Manukau.
The park is not just for professional athletes, but is also home to the largest school and community programme for white water experience in the world.
On a drizzly weekday morning, students from Dawson Primary School in south Auckland sang waiata while they waited patiently for their turn on the water.
Out across the $40 million water park facility, Manurewa East School students were already getting stuck into their hour-long session, which involved crossing a river on foot, white water rafting, and floating down the rapids on their backs.
