Abstract

This presentation looked at how to help more people learn to float because this skill is taking a much more central role in the latest drowning prevention advice in the UK. Many people such as the BBC radio two show presenter, Simon Mayo, who in 2017 declared that he 'cannot float' because despite having been an alternative activity in many traditional swimming lessons, it is not a straight-forward skill for all to master and it requires a high degree of personal trust to have developed inside the water.
