Only two weeks to go until Drowning Prevention Week 2026.
The campaign heavily promotes the water safety code, which advises people to Stop and Think (assess the risks), Stay Together (never swim alone), Search (find safe places like lifeguarded zones), and Call 999/112 in an emergency.
Recognising a recent 67% increase in drowning deaths among 13–17-year-olds, the campaign is expanding its educational reach to target older youths in addition to children aged 5–15 years.
As a facility we are proud to be supporting this fantastic campaign, It’s never too late to start swimming lessons, we pride ourselves in supporting babies from 3 months old right through to older adults. Please visit our website for more details or speak to a member of our team.
