World Drowning Prevention Day 2025 – Anyone can drown, no one should

In April 2021, the United Nations declared 25 July as World Drowning Prevention Day, recognising drowning as a serious but preventable public health issue.

Every year, over 300,000 people worldwide lose their lives to drowning – including hundreds of families across Australia. Most drowning deaths occur in low and middle-income countries, but no community is immune. Children and young people are most at risk.

This World Drowning Prevention Day, we’re proud to stand with Royal Life Saving Australia and communities around the world to raise awareness and take simple steps that save lives.

Here’s how you can take action:

  • Enrol in swimming lessons
  • Supervise children at all times around water
  • Check your pool fence and gate
  • Avoid alcohol and drugs around water
  • Wear a lifejacket when on the water
  • Know the conditions
  • Learn CPR
  • Train to become a swim teacher or pool lifeguard

Every small step we take can help save lives.
