We are in Plymouth, associated with the RNLI, D&C Coastsafe and Above Water (Torquay) we have set up a water safety initiative and are raising money and awareness of the dangers, but one of our biggest obstacles is consumerism and retailers selling inappropriate equipment. We feel like the fun police re open water swimming, leashes and PFD. Is education purely the key, or is legalisation actually an option?
(PS we love education- we are teaching water safety in my school, through PD and assemblies, as well as teaching 224 of the new cohort of year 7s coming in Float to Live, CPR and Defib training!)
