Gosh- open water swimming is just NOT safe alone theguardian.com/politics/2025/… Doing it for Dylan

🧵 Are we doing enough to protect children from drowning? Everyone should be able to enjoy water safely. But there's been a drop in the number of children able to swim and concerns about access to school swimming lessons... #WorldDrowningPreventionDay

Campaigners have been tireless in their calls for greater water safety education to be on the curriculum. I was fortunate to speak to Doing it for Dylan, Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK, the BSA and teachers for my radio documentary 👇 mixcloud.com/jlewis2/water-…

🏊‍♂️ Water safety has been an important issue for me, having been involved in swimming all my life. I'm glad it was the topic of my MA final project. Thank you to those involved for their contributions, especially Beckie Ramsay BEM Beckie Ramsay BEM (British Empire Medal) for sharing her and Dylan's story.

Who would like to come to our spooky ball!! It'd one not to be missed we have a Stilt walker, a fire performer, world class DJ, fancy dress is optional. There will be lots of prizes to win, an auction, wheel barrow of alcohol to be won.

Who's coming.....

Water safety educator of the year 2025 ....... Let's go.... Already being booked in for next year. People are keen and eager to make sure I am attending their schools to teach water safety. 💙🫶💙🫶💙

Time to start giving out ice advice for the 3rd year in a running. Remember the ice can be thinner than it looks. Always keep dogs on leads and don't allow them on to the frozen over water either. Stay away from the ice remember it just might be the last step you take.

No words really... Some people, companies, organisations and charities have no shame whatsoever. Lord story I still have Laura your PA's number. You know from when I spoke to her and fed her the information you needed to take credit for my work...
