Water Safety Week

During June 2015, we took part in STAnley’s Water Safety Tour which was ran by the STA.  For a whole week our instructors taught water safety skills and theory in each class and school who visited.  These skills included beach safety, personal survival and life saving techniques which are very valuable and important to learn especially with the Summer months ahead.

Since running these sessions we run a water safety week every year in June, either taking part in the STAnley Tour or the RLSS Drowning Prevention week.  We deliver these sessions as part of our weekly lessons and to our visiting schools.  Resources are available for each child and schools to include puzzles, colouring in and presentations and each child taking part receieves a certificate.
