Some activities are riskier than others when it comes to the danger of drowning.
In order to be safe around water we recommend not mixing alcohol and water and always wearing a lifejacket when boating.

This might be my favourite part from our chat with @persie_official. The advice he gave to his 13 yr old son to take control - and the reaction he got! Relevant to all of us.
