The most memorable moments of the summer holidays often involve water – whether that be a paddling pool in the garden, local lido, lake or the sea. However, it’s important to make sure the whole family is clued up about potential hazards and risks that water can pose.
“With more people enjoying water during summertime, a disproportionate number of people drown in the UK between May and August, and we see an increased number of drownings in periods of extreme heat,” says Jo Talbot, commercial director at Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK). “Through the delivery of high-quality water safety education and advice, accidental drownings can be prevented.”
