Flin Flon Recreation will be recognizing Drowning Prevention Week next week. Recreation Programmer Kelcey Andersen says they have three days with different themes each day at Channing Beach so on July 20th the focus is on water safety in general focused on what to do if you find yourself in a drowning situation or how to help a friend in a drowning situation building these skills with games and fun drills. She adds on the 21st their focus will be more on boat safety, what to bring to be safe out on the water with some relays and they’re going to be having some fake boats going out so it’s going to be tons of fun and on the 22nd they’re working on swim to survive so these are developing skills that are proven to help increase survival in drowning situations and once again they’re practicing them in fun game like ways.
There is no need to pre-register just drop in at Channing Beach from 1 to 2 each afternoon and all participants will be entered to win a water safety prize.
