Information for schools: Royal Life Saving Society’s UK Drowning Prevention Week 2026

The Royal Life Saving Society’s UK Drowning Prevention Week takes place until 20 June 2026. 

Drowning Prevention Week educates children aged 5 to 17 each June with crucial water safety advice just before the summer holidays, when young people are outdoors more and need these skills and knowledge most, so everyone can enjoy water safely.

Support includes, free resources in relation to water safety and the water safety code and information on activities near you to raise awareness and educate children in water safety and lifesaving skills.

Please share this information with parents and carers if appropriate.
