Drowning can happen to anyone — but it’s preventable. On this World Drowning Prevention Day, we’re urging you to #FindYourFloat and master a skill that could save your life.
Why learn to float?Floating keeps you calm during an emergency. It gives you precious time — to breathe, call for help, or swim to safety.
Practice floating safely at:- Your nearest swimming pool
- A beach with lifeguards
- A supervised open water venue
We encourage you all to support Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK and Swim England's #WorldDrowningPreventionDay
Knowing how to float can save your life. On #WorldDrowningPreventionDay, we encourage you to Find Your Float!
If you find yourself in trouble in the water, remain calm and *Find Your Float* by lying on your back and calling for help. If someone else falls in, throw them something that floats instead of jumping in after them. Ensure your family knows how to float to stay safe in, on, or around water.If you're unsure how to float, swimming pools and swim schools around the country are teaching floating techniques in their swimming lessons in support of #WorldDrowningPreventionDay and RLSS UK's and Swim England's 'Find Your Float' campaign.
Contact your local pool today to #FindYourFloat and enjoy water safely, free from drowning.
