Swan River will be included in celebrations this coming week to recognize National Drowning Prevention Week.
Officials from Lifesaving Society of Manitoba will be at the pool in Swan River on Thursday and Friday to celebrate the great service they provide to the community.
The theme for this year is Safe Together, and the Lifesaving Society of Manitoba will be focusing on getting the word out about safety tips such as swimming and boating with a friend, staying within an arms reach of children swimming or boating, wearing lifecjackets, and swimming in lifeguard-supervised areas, along with other tips that ensure water safety for the entire family.
July is traditionally when the highest number of drowning deaths take place, so this month is used to focus on drowning problems amd prevention.
