World Drowning Prevention Day | 25th July Behind

World Drowning Prevention Day | 25th July

Behind every water rescue is months of training, discipline, and readiness.

Our A-PAD Sri Lanka Search and Rescue team trains year-round in swift water and open water rescue techniques — so that when someone is in trouble, help arrives fast and knows exactly what to do.

Drowning is preventable. Preparedness saves lives — and that starts long before an emergency happens.

This World Drowning Prevention Day, we honor the responders who show up in the water so others don’t go under.

World Drowning Prevention Day | 25th July Drownin

World Drowning Prevention Day | 25th July

Drowning can happen silently and fast — but knowing what to do in the water can save your life.

Flip, Float, and Follow:

Flip onto your back if you get into trouble

Float — keep your head above water, stay calm, and conserve energy

Follow the safest path to safety — don’t fight the current, swim perpendicular to it, and signal for help if you’re too tired to continue

⚠️ Know the real signs of drowning — it rarely looks like splashing and shouting: Facing the shore • Mouth at water level • Head tilted back • Body upright in the water • A climbing-ladder motion with the arms

This #WorldDrowningPreventionDay, learn to recognize it, know how to respond — and help us build safer waters for everyone.

Sri Lanka’s Southwest Monsoon 2026 is active. The DMC has identified 14 high-risk districts and over 106,000 people at risk this season — Gampaha, Colombo, Kandy, Puttlam, Galle, and Ratnapura among the highest. Over the next week, we’re sharing everything your household needs to know: forecasts, home checks, emergency kits, and community action. Save this. Share it with someone in a risk district.

Follow along — because preparation is the only thing that changes the outcome.
