Today is @WHO World #DrowningPrevention Day. Why do we mark this day? It's not only about showing respect for all the families that have lost someone to drowning, it's also about raising awareness of the scale of the problem. Anyone can Drown, No one Should

Did you know mimicking a starfish can help you stay afloat in the water during times of distress? π
To mark #WorldDrowningPreventionDay, TWFRS along with its regional partners, have come together to join hands to form a unified floating circle.

It's lovely to spend time AROUND water... but with data showing that in 2023, 50% accidental drowning fatalities never intended to enter the water, it's important to know how to say safe ποΈ
