🛟🛟 Drowning Prevention Week 🛟🛟
On Wednesday night our rookie swimmers took part in our drowning prevention session. They learned some new skills and were informed about the dangers of water.
Activities they took part in were -
🏁 the water safety code, different flags on beaches, what might be under the water when you can’t see
👖 making a flotation device out of the clothes they were wearing
🛟 how to rescue someone using the lifesaving equipment
💧 how to tow someone back to safety if they can’t swim
🪨 how to enter the water safely and attract attention if in difficulty
Everyone took part in all the activities and hopefully they all feel safer when being around water 🛟
Our next sessions for the rookies are Friday 19th June at the Olympia 6.30pm to 7.30pm and Sunday 21st June at Harris from 9am to 10am. If your child attends these then can they please bring pyjamas with them so they can take part in the session.
