Water Babies consistently supports RLSS UK’s water safety initiatives, particularly our flagship campaign, Drowning Prevention Week, held annually in June. This campaign brings educational and engaging water safety activities to children, families, and schools.

RLSS UK’s recent Child Drowning Update reveals that, on average, one child drowns at home each month in England, with those under five being most at risk. These alarming statistics underscore the importance of introducing children to water safety as early as possible.

As the leading water safety education charity, RLSS UK is dedicated to reducing drownings across the UK and Ireland. We promote safe water enjoyment, advocate for safe play and swim areas, ensure competent lifeguard provision at indoor and outdoor venues, and deliver vital water safety education through our resources for all ages.

Our collaboration with Water Babies enhances the visibility and impact of our combined efforts to keep children safe around water. By introducing water safety early, we ensure children can enjoy a lifetime of fun in the water.

Water safety is a journey and in support of Water Babies and National Baby Swimming Week we have created water safety advice pages and free education resources that support parents to enrich their child’s knowledge of water safety.
