Above Water is the water education & safety charity that sends teachers who are qualified lifeguards into schools to teach and promote adventurous water activity, provide water safety education, teach drowning prevention techniques and aquatic first aid. Teachers who are trained open water lifeguards understand the professionalism required to visit a school and they have exceptional subject knowledge to be flexible to the needs of the school. It is totally FREE for a school to book a visit by Above Water. Lifeguards deliver whole school assemblies, single lessons, all day activities, after school parent water safety awareness & first aid and much, much more! Above Water is passionate about educating children in water safety and believes the best way to guard against drowning is to educate by sending professional open water beach lifeguards into schools.

Story

Hi all,

This May, I am running the Belfast Marathon in the aid of raising money for a charity called Above Water UK.

This charity aims to educate and train young people about drowning prevention and water safety, primarily within schools in the UK.

Drowning prevention holds a personal and very strong place in my heart. I am hoping to raise £150, which will fund the costs for a young leader to be trained in drowning prevention.

If you want to know anything more about the charity, this is their website - https://www.abovewater.org

I would really appreciate any donations ❤️

Will
