It’s #DrowningPreventionWeek – we’re supporting this campaign led by RLSS UK.

Rivers & lakes in the Yorkshire Dales may look calm but can be cold, deep & hard to get out of.

If someone gets into difficulty:

🟠 Tell them to float on their back
🟠 Call 999 (Fire & Rescue)

No one should go through a heartbreaking loss of a loved one due to drowning.

This National #DrowningPreventionWeek, the Government is working to ensure that schools teach the water safety code as part of our new RSHE statutory guidance, to be published shortly.

It’s National #DrowningPreventionWeek.

Swimming and water safety is a vital life skill, and we're determined every child learns how to be safe in water. PE & PSHE lessons provide all children with these important skills.

With summer holidays approaching, let’s be water safe.
June 18, 2025 at 5:11 PM
We’re seeing around 12 water-related incidents a week on average. That’s nearly two every day

Temperatures are expected to remain high over the weekend. Enjoy #London's waterways safely & don't be tempted to jump in to open water #DrowningPreventionWeek london-fire.gov.uk/news/2025-ne...

@brightonrnli.bsky.social As you know every swimming lesson is a lifeline. At Sreepur Village, the SwimSafe programme transforms fear into confidence, teaching children vital skills to survive in rural Bangladesh where drowning claims too many young lives.

This week is Drowning Prevention Week. As Summer approaches, it’s important to take extra care around water.
Did you know that 50% of people who accidentally drown, didn’t intend to enter the water? Don’t let it be you. orlo.uk/VEMIw

No child should drown, and with the right water safety education, accidental drownings are preventable.

@RLSSUK research shows a rise in accidental drownings during hot weather—especially among teens and young adults. Knowing how to stay safe near water can save lives.
We've discussed more in episode 71 of our podcast, search “Waterfall” wherever you listen.

Quarry water is much colder than rivers, lakes or the sea - you could die from ‘cold shock’ in less than two minutes.
