Better, Link Centre - Swindon

This week, for Drowning Prevention Week, our Level Water Swimmers are learning the Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK Water Safety Code, experiencing swimming in their clothes and demonstrating how to safely rescue someone should they fall into the water.

We are proud to be supporting Drowning Prevention Week!

It’s almost time - Drowning Prevention Week kicks off this weekend! 🛟

With warm weather forecast this weekend and into next week, more of us will enjoy spending time in, on, or around water, so it’s important to stay safe.

Almost half (47%) of UK accidental drownings happen between May and August, with higher risks during warmer weather.

Keep yourself and your family safe:
• Check for hazards, including depth, currents, tides, and hidden underwater objects.
• Stay together and swim in lifeguarded areas.

In an emergency:
• Call 999 immediately
• If you fall in or become tired, stay calm, float on your back, and call for help
