Drowning Prevention Week - Parents Resources

For this year’s Drowning Prevention Week, we have created new and exciting materials, exclusively for parents and guardians to take charge of their families own water safety education.

Water can provide so much joy but at the same time has the potential to cause unimaginable tragedy. Spending a short time providing a sound water safety education for the whole family can make the difference for a planned day at the beach or the park resulting in everybody enjoying their day and returning home, safely.

Our free and easily accessible water safety education resources have been designed with you in mind so that from home you can engage children in all ages in simple but lifesaving content.

Please note: the resources are best downloaded on a computer
