Every class in the school takes part in the PAWS programme in May and June of each school year.
Every child can now learn water safety skills in the classroom.
Water Safety Ireland has created a free educational resource for primary schools called PAWS (Primary Aquatics Water Safety). PAWS outlines life-saving guidelines for children of every age and is available digitally to every school in the country. It teaches children how to be safe around water in homes, farms, pools, beaches and on our waterways.

In Ireland, thirty children aged fourteen and under drowned every ten years. That’s the equivalent of an entire classroom. By encouraging school children to be more conscious about water safety we can change that statistic for good.
