“Unless the government acts now, more people could die this summer. The school holidays are weeks away, temperatures will rise again, and children will head to open water.” @LeePitcherMP
“We lose one person a day, on average, from drowning during May, June, July and August. Around 43% of them are under the age of 40, and quite a lot of them are young teenagers or men, particularly 20 to 29. It means that each year in the UK we lose about 8,000 years of life because people are dying prematurely" @ProfMikeTipton
The UK National Water Safety Forum data for 2025 released today: 202 accidental deaths,57% of drownings inland, 85% males, 63% engaged in recreational sports, 32% engaged in everyday activities. Safety messages: "FLOAT TO LIVE", and "PHONE, FLOAT, THROW" nationalwatersafety.org.uk/
❗️Think Before You Jump In❗️ Many lives are lost when people enter the water to rescue someone or an animal. Phone, Float, Throw but never go in yourself. #PhoneFloatThrow#WaterSafetyWales
