Today is World Drowning Prevention Day, President Michael D. Higgins has written a message in support of the day and the shared effort that is needed to prevent drowning incidents

Drowning can happen to anyone, but it impacts kids and young people the most. Since 2000, #drowning deaths in the Western Pacific have decreased by 38%. While progress is encouraging, too many lives remain at risk. Increasing global investment in measures to prevent drowning in children can help protect millions of lives. These measures include: 🔹Installing barriers to control access to water 🔹Providing day care for pre-school children 🔹Teaching school-age children basic swimming and water safety skills #WorldDrowningPreventionDay

Our lifeguards saved 86 lives last year, Joe was just one of them. Visiting a lifeguarded beach could save your life too. This #WorldDrowningPreventionDay, Joe and his family are asking everyone to visit a lifeguarded beach 👇 rnli.social/LGBeaches #BeachSafety #WDPD

Many drowning-related deaths can be prevented by wearing life jackets. Always have enough life jackets for everyone when boating and ensure they're in good condition. Wear one at all times – it can save your life. #DrowningPrevention
