Help Teach Children Life-saving Water Safety Skills

Every child deserves to know how to be safe around water.

During Drowning Prevention Week 2026, we’re on a mission to educate children across the country with the knowledge and confidence to stay safe in, on and around water - but we need your help! 

Drowning is preventable, and nobody should drown.

About Drowning Prevention Week:

RLSS UK’s Drowning Prevention Week is an annual, nationwide water safety campaign designed to educate children and young adults in water safety and lifesaving skills.

Drowning Prevention Week educates children aged 5 to 17 each June with crucial water safety advice just before the summer holidays, when young people are outdoors more and need these skills and knowledge most, so everyone can enjoy water safely. We're calling on all carers, schools, lifesaving clubs, leisure operators, and water-related businesses to participate.

Save the Date: Drowning Prevention Week is happening from 13-20 June 2026.
