We're supporting Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK Drowning Prevention Week
๐
13th - 20th June 2026
This week, we're helping to raise awareness of water safety by sharing vital advice across all of our leisure centres.
Through fun, engaging, and age-appropriate activities, our swimmers will learn important skills and knowledge to help them stay safe in and around water.
Recent research from RLSS UK shows that drowning incidents among 13โ17-year-olds have increased by 67% between 2020 and 2025. This highlights just how important water safety education is.
Our goal is to help reduce these statistics by equipping children and young people with the confidence, awareness, and practical skills they need to enjoy water safely.
Together, we can make a difference and help keep everyone safer around water. ๐๐ฆ
