New data shows that children from the most deprived communities are significantly less likely to leave primary school able to swim 25 metres and self-rescue, despite these being essential life-saving skills.

No child should miss out on learning vital water safety and swimming skills because of their background.

RLSS UK is calling for a national drowning prevention strategy, a dedicated Minister for Water Safety and Drowning Prevention, and urgent action to tackle inequalities in access to swimming education that are increasing the risk of preventable drowning deaths.

It's time for coordinated action to ensure every child has access to the skills they need to stay safe around in, on, and around water.

Designating a Water Watcher is one of the simplest things you can do to keep kids safe at the beach — and one of the most overlooked. 👀

Here's how it works:
🔵 One adult. One job. Watch the water.
🔵 No phones. No side conversations.
🔵 Rotate every 15–20 minutes so you stay alert.

Drowning is fast and silent. Active supervision isn't optional — it's everything.
