Drowning Prevention Week
Loughborough Sport backs national Drowning Prevention Week campaign and are urging parents to make sure their children know how to stay safe and enjoy the water this summer.
Swim Lessons 22 and 23 June
Figures indicate that around 25 per cent of primary pupils leave school unable to swim, and experts fear that as a result of the pandemic many young people lacking the ability to swim or self-rescue.
Loughborough Sport is supporting RLSS UK’s national Drowning Prevention Week campaign.
During Drowning Prevention Week we are asking children to wear either pyjamas or shorts and t-shirts over their swimming costumes during their lesson. Teachers will deliver this week's lesson with life-saving related activities.
We are proud to play our part in ensuring our families have a safe summer. We recognise how vitally important it is for children to know how to stay safe near water, and urge our parents to access RLSS UK’s free water safety resources on the Charity’s website.
Get involved and give our children the skills to enjoy a lifetime of fun in the water.
