Public Education
Canadians drown while involved in a wide variety of activities in many types of aquatic settings that range from rivers to backyard pools. Public education is delivered through the Society’s swim programs, National Drowning Prevention Week and various community action initiatives. The overall goal is to increase awareness of the risks associated with activities in, on and around water and ice; and modify at-risk behaviours to eliminate drowning and water-related injury.
