Safe Water Sports, the Organization that promotes safety in the aquatic environment, presented the official report of statistics on drownings for 2024 in cooperation with the Ministry of Shipping, the Hellenic coast guard and the Hellenic Police on 11th May as this is the day the Organization has established as the National day regarding the prevention of drownings and sea based accidents.
Recently, the organization in cooperation with the Ministry of shipping, the ministry of health and EODY participated in a event about safety at sea and especially for people over 60s. During this event, SWS had the chance to present its activities, explain some statistical data but also to present the new awareness video spot that airs on tv from June 1 till end of September and its about safety at sea for the elderly.
Additionally, the Organization plans to visit Cyprus on 25th July in order to attend its national day for the prevention of drownings. Recently the organization had a meeting with all the ministries of Cyprus in order to communicate its actual plan about safety in the aquatic environment in Cyprus.
We are also proud that we managed to create the 1st floating swimming pool at sea in Thassos island in order to give the chance to students to attend swimming lessons, but also swimming athletic academies to be created and older people swim over there.
Finally one of our biggest goals is that we plan to create the 1st Water Safety Forum located in Greece, inviting all the Ministers from the mediterranean countries to present their data and exchange knowledge. This plan is set for spring of 2026.
