Did you know that on average 160 people drown in Ireland each year?

 Most of these tragic deaths happen inland, in rivers and lakes, on farms and in and around homes and these accidents are preventable.

Waterways can be dangerous and its easy to forget this until tragedy strikes so always wear a lifejacket when you are on water – it’s your lifeline in an emergency

Its never too late to learn to swim. Help protect yourself and your family from drowning by taking up Irish Water Safety’s swimming and lifesaving classes nationwide

STAY SAFE by ALWAYS wearing a Personal Flotation Device!
