Today is the start of our annual Drowning Prevention Week campaign.

Will you help share our new animation about the Water Safety Code which aims to give you and your family the knowledge to stay safe in and around water?

To be honest I’ve nothing left in me to write the usual heartbreaking pleas. This tragedy is a mere 10 mins up the road form us. As ever, schools and community groups can get in touch if they want a workshop for their students.

[North West Police Underwater Search & Marine Unit @NWPoliceDivers]

We need to educate young people about the dangers of swimming in open water without necessary precautions.

Please speak to your children, relatives & friends to prevent these tragedies happening.

Our thoughts go out to this family. 🔵🔱

Heartbroken by their son's tragic drowning, Jabulani and Nombulelo Ndlovu have created a powerful water safety video. 'Thando's Story' aims to educate kids about the dangers of open water.
Let's spread awareness and prevent more tragedies. 🙏

Sharron Davies has done fantastic work in the past, but the water safety community shouldn’t look to platform anybody who spreads division and hate. #TransWomenAreWomen

[Teya’s Legacy @TeyasLegacy]

Does your party fancy adding water safety to the curriculum so that at least their kids will be equipped with the skills to keep themselves safe?

[Edwina Currie @Edwina_Currie]

Because they’re thick…?
Unlike the ice…

[Teya’s Legacy @TeyasLegacy]

Frustrating to hear stories of adults (not children!) on the ice at Sefton Park. We will be on BBC Radio Merseyside after 5ish to discuss this more.

After this weeks tragic news, how could you be so stupid?

[Teya’s Legacy @TeyasLegacy]

@LilySpendlove Thanks so much Lily x

[Teya’s Legacy @TeyasLegacy]

@PaulDowardRadio Ahhh Paul, so sorry to hear this! Thank you for all you’ve done for us. Excited to hear what you go on to next. X

[Teya’s Legacy @TeyasLegacy]

4 years ago today we all made a commitment to raise awareness of water safety and prevent water fatalities in your name. It’s definitely been some challenge but we have done just that. Thanks to everyone who has supported us on the way.

Miss you mate. X

[Teya’s Legacy @TeyasLegacy]

Just up the road from us - praying for a positive outcome 🙏🏽

Some very sad breaking news this morning https://t.co/vl1pu9mk1K

[National Water Safety Forum @NWSFweb]

Fight your instinct to jump in and help. Stay on land and make the right call:

CALL 999 and ask for fire & rescue inland or coastguard at the coast

TELL them to float on their back

THROW them something that floats

Not the hottest of days today but next week is meant to be boiling. ☀️

Timely reminder to stay out of those rivers and lakes. You’re not indestructible and drowning can happen to anyone - we know this more than anyone.
