Essential guidance of water safety
The water supports so many of the activities we love, but can be dangerous to even the strongest swimmer – with 400 people drowning in the UK each year. So, keep this vital advice in mind whenever you enter the water (with or without Sea Cadets) and share your water safety knowledge with friends and family.
