Advancing global water safety and drowning prevention 

RoSPA and Xylem: Working together to prevent drowning

RoSPA is working in partnership with Xylem to address one of the world’s most urgent and preventable public health challenges: drowning.

Xylem’s mission to build a more water-secure world through innovation, collaboration and community engagement aligns powerfully with RoSPA’s century-long commitment to saving lives through education, advocacy and policy influence.

Free water safety and drowning prevention resources

As part of this project, we have worked together to create a range of free resources that can be used by employers, families, community groups, educators and anyone looking to promote water safety. These resources focus on the global picture of drowning prevention while providing practical information that can help keep people safe in and around water. Resources can be used in communities, schools, homes and workplaces – or shared directly with friends and family – to raise awareness and educate on drowning prevention.
