National charity and leader in lifesaving and lifeguarding training across the UK and Ireland, the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK), is urging people to get summer ready by brushing up on their water safety skills and knowledge.
With over 400 people dying each year in the UK and Ireland from accidental drowning, it’s clear that it’s a topic that needs more attention.
A sobering reminder of the dangers of drowning with more than 20 people losing their lives across the UK
East Devon District Council wants to remind people making a trip to the seaside this summer that this should be a time to remember and enjoy, please do not let it turn into a tragedy. Key things to remember when in water are:
Diabetes UK is looking for people from Devon to take on the swimming challenge of the year, Swim22, between 22 February and 22 May.
Swim22 participants will cover an incredible 22 miles – the equivalent of crossing the English Channel. People taking on the challenge can swim in their local pool alone or, better still, with family, friends or colleagues.
PEOPLE in the South West are being urged to sign up to Swimathon, the world’s biggest annual fundraising swim, to raise money for two great causes, Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie.
Swimmers of all ages and abilities are being invited to take part in the annual sponsored event in pools across the region and help raise money for both charities.
One of the UK’s most scenic and popular open water swims, which is also becoming a major charity fundraising event, enters its eighth year when it takes place on the river Dart in September.
The Dart 10K was the first swim of its kind on the open water calendar and quickly grew from 200 swimmers taking part to 1,600 over two days.
