Safer Together: King Township recognizes National Drowning Prevention Week from July 20-26

Free public swims and a Swim to Survive event, plus water safety education displays

Over 400 Canadians die in preventable water-related incidents each year. From July 20-26 King Township joins the Ontario Lifesaving Society to recognize National Drowning Prevention Week (NDPW). NDPW is an annual initiative coordinated by the Lifesaving Society (LSS) to raise awareness of the drowning problem in Canada and occurs in mid-July, when Canada’s drowning rate is at its highest.  

The 2025 theme “Safer Together” refers to the importance of working together to stay safe in or around water. “Safer Together” focuses on preventing some of the most commons causes of water fatalities by emphasizing three key water safety messages:

  1. Parents staying within arm’s reach of young children while in the water.
  2. Swimming where lifeguards are.
  3. Not swimming or boating alone.

Free NDPW Events

During NDPW, residents are invited to participate in a series of free, water smart events at Zancor CentreChoose from:
