Water Safety

Ahead of the summer holidays, it’s important to refresh your knowledge of water safety rules and key things to remember whether you have the paddling pool out in the garden or you are visiting a river, lake or beach. The STA’s Water Safety Booklet is a great resource for the whole family: CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE BOOKLET

Water Safety Code

 

Spot the Dangers

 

Water may look safe, but it can be dangerous; learn to spot and keep away from dangers. You may swim well in a warm indoor pool, but that does not mean that you’d be able to swim in cold water outside.

 

Take Safety Advice

 

Special flags and notices may warn you of danger. Know what the signs mean and do what they tell you.

 

Don’t Go Alone

 

Children should always go with an adult, not by themselves. An adult may be able to point out dangers or help if someone gets into trouble.

 

Learn How to Help

 

You may be able to yourself and others if you know what to do in an emergency.

WATER SAFETY

The importance of water safety education is important all-year-round – and now more than ever with so many children having missed out on swimming lessons over the last 12 months and the summer approaching.

The STA's water safety presentation is a great resource to help swim schools, schools, community groups, sports clubs and parents and now available on You Tube! 

Stay safe in and around water by watching this engaging Water Safety presentation delivered by STA Tutor, Mark McNichol.
