National Water Safety Awareness Week takes place from June 14th – June 20th 2021. During the week, our national campaign will communicate important water safety messages to the Irish public. Our central theme for this year is ‘Better Safe, Than Sorry’ – reminding us all to take necessary care when on, near or in water.
As restrictions gradually ease across Ireland, our Summer Week classes and activities are returning on a phased basis in line with public health protocols. Our commitment to water safety and drowning prevention is as strong as ever and we have developed a number of resources that can be shared by you if you would like to support our cause. As well as featuring across media throughout Ireland, our social media channels will also share the material throughout the week. Now is the time to make water safety a part of your conversations with family and friends alike.

A year of swimming pools closed and swimming lessons cancelled. It’s National Water Safety Awareness week. Mark it by giving water safety the focus we all give Covid-19.
Near home or on stay-cation, swim between the flags at lifeguarded waterways. Supervise children and never use inflatables on open water. Wear a lifejacket when boating or angling.
