Drowning Prevention Week is deliberately timed ahead of the school summer holidays when children spend more time outdoors when vital water safety skills can help keep them safe. No child should drown, and with the right water safety education accidental drownings are preventable.
Children are naturally curious and often drawn to water, whether it’s a pool, beach, or even a garden pond. As a parent, understanding water safety and teaching it to your children can make all the difference. By participating in Drowning Prevention Week, you can help ensure your children are aware of the dangers and know how to stay safe.
To support you, we’ve developed a range of free resources that make learning about water safety easy and fun for your family.
By joining Drowning Prevention Week, you’re taking a vital step in imparting essential information to ensure your family’s safety. Let’s work together to make water safety a priority for every family.
