Ireland’s National Drowning Prevention Strategy (2018-2027) states that “through education, training and action, we will foster a culture that encourages safer attitudes and behaviours in all those who live, work and play on or near water in Ireland.
We believe that the key to preventing drowning across Ireland and the UK is to educate people on how they can enjoy water safely; raising awareness about the potential dangers around water and teaching them what to do in an emergency.
