Скачать или смотреть Water Safety Awareness Week 16-24 June 2012. Take part, prevent drowning!

Water Safety Awareness Week is back -- and this year it's set to make an even bigger splash!

For the second year, the Royal Life Saving Society UK are raising awareness of how to be safe in, on or near water.

Our aim is to prevent drowning through education, and to help people enjoy water safely.

Each year more than 400 people drown in the UK and thousands of people suffer near-drowning experiences.

We want to reduce the number of injuries and accidental deaths caused by drowning.

The need is clear.

Shockingly, drowning is the third highest cause of accidental death in children in the UK. But it's not just children who are in danger. Men, and young men in particular, present the highest risk. And against some expectations, more than half of people who drown knew how to swim.

The facts are worrying. But they can be changed. The majority of drownings can be prevented. But only if people know how to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.
