Description
Unsupervised swimming can do more than just cause panic. It can even lead to serious accidents or loss of life. In the UK, water activities are very popular, but they come with risks. According to Swim England, almost 14 million adults go swimming at least once a year. As a result, there is a constant need for trained staff to prevent accidents.
