Westmeath Irish Water Safety

The statutory, voluntary body and registered charity established to promote water
safety in Ireland. Our focus is on Public Awareness. Unfortunately an average
of 150 people drown each year in Ireland. We feel that this is simply
unacceptable considering that most fatalities are avoidable. We strive to reduce
these fatalities by increasing water safety awareness, changing attitudes and
behaviors so that our aquatic environments can be enjoyed with confidence and
safety.
