Drowning Prevention: Drowning is preventable - nobody should drown
As warmer weather approaches, more families and children will be drawn to rivers, lakes and other open waterβbut these environments can be extremely dangerous. Hidden risks such as strong currents, sudden drops, cold water shock and unseen hazards are often not recognised until it is too late. Itβs vital that we are clear: open water is not a safe place to swim
Coventry Safeguarding Children Partnership does not support or encourage open water swimming. Instead, they are committed to raising awareness of the serious risks involved.
π Drowning Prevention : Drowning is preventable β nobody should drown
π‘ Key safety messages
Stop and think before going near water
Stay together β never go alone
Float if you fall in, then call for help
Call 999 in an emergency
β οΈ Remember
Open water is dangerous, even for strong swimmers
Children must be actively supervised at all times
Never enter the water to rescue someone
π Reach or throw β donβt go
π§ For children
Stop, Look, Think!
Always stay with friends or a trusted adult
If you fall in: float like a starfish and shout for help
π Respect the water β stay together, stay safe
