Water Safety Awareness

Water Safety Awareness

Come and join us for a water safety awareness session, primarily aimed at young people between 13 - 21 but open to everyone if we have spaces. We have taught water safety to many groups, organisations and individuals over the last 30 years and work closely with uniformed services on their training programs.  Based at our adventure lake in Lincoln we start with a short classroom 'awareness' session with video support from the RNLI We then offer some top tips on how to react if you, or someone with you, falls into water and we take you through an awareness of the effects of unplanned cold water immersion. This session is offered FREE of CHARGE  We offer this to raise awareness on the dangers around open water and unplanned immersion situations as a public service to hopefully prevent an unplanned situation becoming a critical incident.
