Drowning Prevention Week: Water Safety Code

Today, Monday 15th June, marks the start of Drowning Prevention Week 2026.  We'll be sharing key messages each day to raise awareness.

Today's theme is: Remember the Water Safety Code

  • Stop and Think – Look for hazards (depth, currents, cold water) and enter slowly

  • Stay Together – Go with others and choose lifeguarded areas where possible

  • Call 999 – Ask for the Coastguard at the coast, or Fire & Rescue inland

  • Float to live – If in trouble, lie on your back and stay calm
