💙 Drowning Prevention Week 💙
A simple conversation could save a life.
As the weather gets warmer, more young people are spending time around water. Remember: warm weather doesn’t mean warm water, and even strong swimmers can get into difficulty.
Take a few minutes to talk with your teenagers about staying safe around water:
✔️ Avoid jumping into unknown water
✔️ Never mix alcohol and water activities
✔️ Be aware of cold water shock
✔️ If someone is in trouble: Phone 999, Float, Throw
When you’re not there, what you’ve said matters.
