πŸ’™ Water Safety Matters πŸ’™

On average, 39 children lose their lives to drowning each year in the UK.

Swimming lessons are about so much more than learning strokes and earning badges. They teach vital life skills, water confidence, and how to stay safe in and around water.

Whether it’s a swimming pool, the beach, a river, lake, or even a garden pond, children need the knowledge and skills to recognise dangers and know what to do in an emergency.

Every child deserves the chance to learn to swim and be safe around water.

πŸŠβ€β™€οΈ Give your child a skill that could save their life.

πŸ’§ FLOAT TO LIVE πŸ’§

10 people have drowned in the UK in the past few days. Tragically, many were young.

Swimming lessons are not just about learning strokes and swimming lengths.
They are about learning water safety, understanding danger, staying calm, and knowing what to do if you get into trouble.

One of the most important skills anyone can learn is how to Float to Live:

⭐ Tilt your head back
⭐ Keep your ears under the water
⭐ Relax and control your breathing
⭐ Move your hands gently
⭐ Call for help when you can

Please make sure your children learn to swim and learn water safety. It could save a life. πŸ’™

Wherever you live β€” book those swimming lessons.
