We're proud to be one of the many leisure operators who support Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK's Drowning Prevention Week every year! 🧡
The campaign comes at a time of year where more People will be spending time in or around water, whether they're swimming solo, with friends, or as a family activity.
