🎨🛟Did you know that the colour of a swim costume can affect how visible a child is in the water?

Bright colours such as neon orange, yellow, pink and green are often much easier to spot in pools, lochs and at the beach than blue, grey or white swimwear.

While swimming ability and water safety knowledge are the most important factors, choosing highly visible swimwear can provide an extra layer of safety when enjoying time in and around water.

As part of Drowning Prevention Week, we're encouraging families to think about all aspects of water safety, including what we wear in the water.

💙 Stay safe, stay visible, and enjoy the water responsibly.

🚨 Do you know the Water Safety Code?

✅ Stop and Think
✅ Stay Together
✅ Call 999
✅ Float

🛟 Always swim in areas where a lifeguard is present.

These simple steps can help save lives and are a key part of Drowning Prevention Week activities taking place in our lessons. Let's help our children become safer and more confident around water.

💙 This week we're proud to be supporting Drowning Prevention Week 2026!

Water safety and life-saving skills are a key part of our swimming lessons all year round, helping swimmers build confidence and learn how to stay safe in and around water.

Throughout this week, we'll be placing an extra focus on Drowning Prevention Week activities, reinforcing important safety messages and practical skills that could one day save a life.

Learning to swim is important, but understanding how to recognise risks and respond safely around water is just as essential.
