🛟 Know the Water Safety Code 🛟

As part of Drowning Prevention Week, we're encouraging everyone to learn the Royal Life Saving Society UK's Water Safety Code.

Whether you're visiting the beach, a lake, river or swimming pool this summer, these simple steps could help save a life:

🧠 Stop and Think
Take a moment to look for potential dangers and make safe choices before entering the water.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Stay Together
Always stay close to friends and family around water. Never swim alone.

📞 Call 999 in an Emergency
If someone is in trouble, call 999 immediately. If you're at the coast, ask for the Coastguard.

💙 Float if You Get into Trouble
If you find yourself struggling in the water, float on your back, keep calm and control your breathing until help arrives or you can swim to safety.

By learning and sharing the Water Safety Code, we can all help prevent drowning and enjoy the water safely this summer.

🌊 Drowning Prevention Week is coming 🌊

From 13th June, our Learn to Swim programme at Active Lifestyles Stroud will focus on water safety lessons as part of Drowning Prevention Week.

These sessions are designed to help children develop vital lifesaving skills and build confidence in and around water ahead of the summer months.

We encourage children to wear lightweight clothing during their water safety lessons to help them understand how being clothed affects movement and buoyancy in the water.

Swimming instructors will be sharing further information and reminders with parents over the coming weeks.

Together, we can help children stay safer around water this summer. 💙
