World Drowning Prevention Day 2025
World Drowning Prevention Day is held annually on 25 July. This global advocacy event serves as an opportunity to highlight the tragic and profound impact of drowning on families and communities and offer life-saving solutions to prevent it. An estimated 236,000 people drown every year, and drowning is among the ten leading causes of death for children aged 5-14 years.
The theme of this year’s campaign is: Your story can save a life: drowning prevention through shared experiences.
