What is Get Safe for Summer?

• An event anually organised by the Amateur Swimming Association 
• A National Water Safety Education Campaign 
• Targeted at parents and children of primary school age and in particular those at Key Stage 2. 

Why is Get Safe for Summer Important?
A good understanding of water safety is just as important as being able to swim. As the summer holidays approach the ASA’s Get Safe 4 Summer Campaign is all about raising awareness that swimming in open water such as lakes, rivers, canals and the sea is very different from the pool. We want everyone to be able to enjoy the water but in a safe and sensible way.
