Key stage 3 water safety

We are delighted to launch our Key Stage 3 (KS3) Water Safety Education Programme, designed to equip young people with the essential skills and knowledge needed to stay safe in and around water.

Water safety remains a significant issue, particularly for young people, with statistics showing that teenagers are among the groups most at risk of accidental drowning.

Delivered virtually and free of charge, the session lasts approximately 30 minutes. The presentation is interactive, engaging, and age-appropriate, led by experienced professionals who are passionate about giving young people the knowledge and confidence that could one day help save a life.
