Water Safety Awareness Day is part of the City’s ongoing commitment to drowning prevention and community education.

Most drowning incidents happen during the summer months, making education and preparedness important to help keep families safe this summer.
The event is free to attend. It will offer hands-on learning opportunities, demonstrations from experts and other family-friendly activities to help residents feel more confident around water and learn important safety skills. Water safety starts before getting in the water.
The City of Mississauga’s annual Water Safety Awareness Day encourages safe habits in and around water for residents of all ages. Attendees will have the opportunity to:

Mississauga, ON
Free – No registration required.
According to the Drowning Prevention Research Centre, 66 per cent of drowning deaths occur between May and September, with the highest number occurring in July. As more residents head to pools, spray pads, lakes, rivers and beaches during the summer, understanding how to recognize risks, supervise children, wear life jackets properly and respond in an emergency can help save lives. Water Safety Awareness Day provides residents with practical skills, expert advice and access to community resources that help make water activities safer for everyone.
Residents can learn more about swimming lessons, aquatics programs, free swims and other water safety resources at mississauga.ca/swimming.
