In the last 5 years, 39% of all UK drownings occurred in June, July and August. This is why it’s so important to raise as much awareness as possible right now. 

We know that on a hot day, it might seem like a great idea to cool down in open water to young people. However, swimming is prohibited in the canal and river trusts, and this is for good reason.  

There are too many risks such as: 

1.  Depth perception
2.  Hidden dangers under the water
3.  Cold temperatures

·       Water safety for teenagers and young people 

·       Summer water safety 

·       Water Safety Advice 

·       How to Float - would you know what to do if you were in trouble in the water? 

·       Shock
