Water Safety resources
Find resources and information to help you share water safety advice in your community.
From commercial fishing crews to coastal walkers – it’s vital that people know how to stay safe when on or around the water. By sharing water safety advice, the RNLI aims to prevent incidents before they happen and encourage people to adopt safer behaviour, so that they can safely enjoy their time at the coast.
Below you will find resources to help you support water safety in your area, including our safety advice for specific activities and information about our main summer beach safety campaign.
