Drowning Prevention Week 2025

Drowning Prevention Week 2025

14 - 21 June 2025

The Royal Life Saving Society UK hold their biggest campaign of the year in June targeting families, carers, teaches and instructors of children aged five to fifteen years old with the aim of educating them about water safety. With the right water safety education, such as the water safety code, accidental drownings are preventable.

With the summer holidays approaching children are likely to spend more time outdoors. At South Ribble Leisure, our hope is to spread the word and encourage everyone to the water safety conversation with children.

In the lead-up to Drowning Prevention Week, we will be sharing information on our social media pages to encourage customers to share with their friends and family. We will also be supporting Drowning Prevention Week in our school swimming lessons where teachers will be discussing the water safety code, safe self-rescue and incorporate different scenarios in an interactive way.
