WATER SAFETY ASSEMBLY18 June 2024 (by Joanne Swift (j.swift)) |
The children in years 3 to 6 had a water safety assembly today. It is important to start the education of the dangers of open water from an early age. Please reinforce this message at home.
Our advice for young people is:
- Never jump into open bodies of water – this can cause cold water shock and impact on your ability to swim
- Don’t be peer pressured into swimming where you aren’t comfortable, or if you can’t swim
- If you get into trouble, float to live – there is advice on this below
- If a friend gets into trouble, encourage them to float to live and call 999 immediately
