The Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) are raising awareness of water safety with Drowning Prevention Week during 15-22 June.
According to a survey by RLSS UK, only 30% of parents surveyed said they were 'very confident' that their child knows how to stay safe in and around water.
Limited time offer - No lesson joining fee
Sign up for swimming lessons with Gedling Leisure between 15 and 22 June and you won't have to pay a lesson joining fee.
We want to help more children learn to swim and be more confident in water, particularly as the weather gets warmer and the summer holidays approach. Learning to swim is an essential life skill, and will enable your child to enjoy the swimming pools and open water more safely.
Find out more about the swimming lessons we offer, including baby and toddler, junior swim stars, disability swim stars, adult lessons and private swimming lessons.
Simply pop in to Calverton, Carlton Forum or Arnold Leisure Centre for more information and to sign up for swimming lessons during Drowning Prevention Week to save £15 with no joining fee to pay! We will also arrange a free swim assessment to get you started and assess the learner's abilities.
The no joining fee offer for swimming lessons is valid until the end of the day on Saturday 22 June. See the swimming lesson terms and conditions.
