Do The HUDDLE (Where the PLS Logo got the design inspiration from) in order to Keep Everyone Safe from Water Emergency - until a rescue comes - bearing in mind to reserve the Center Space to Safely Keep the Children, Elderly, PWDs, Pregnant Women and Those Vulnerable to Drowning, The Huddle has to be executed steadfastly to withstand external distractions brought by the water disaster. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE during our Swim and Survive Training until perfection of confidence is attained to keep everyone water safe.

Dear Colleagues in Drowning Prevention,

Let's Go Blue for World Drowning Prevention Day. WHO has added the idea from Water Safety Ireland of going blue for World Drowning Prevention Day. The idea is simple. Local organizations work with relevant authorities to have one or several notable landmarks illuminated in blue light during the evening of 25 July. Other ideas are that organizations can color their webpages, social media banners, individual can post statements about going blue. You can find out more about the initiative here (see link below) :

Once again, I’d encourage you to take the opportunity to commemorate the day, and share your activities with your colleagues.
