Heartbreaking Reminder: Stay Safe Around Water
The family of Declan Sawyer, a spirited 15-year-old from Lincoln, is urging everyone to talk about water safety. Declan tragically drowned at Swanholme Lakes during the May heatwave, leaving a gap in the hearts of all who knew him. Described by his dad as a “funny, outgoing young man” with a “cheeky smile,” Declan was loved dearly by his friends and family.
Emergency services were called when Declan went missing at the lakes, and despite their efforts, he couldn’t be saved. This devastating incident highlights the dangers that open water can pose, especially as the warmer months tempt more of us to cool off.
Declan’s family is passionately appealing to parents, guardians, and friends everywhere to have important conversations with youngsters about the hidden dangers of open water. Let’s ensure our kids know the risks and keep them safe.
Remember, even the strongest swimmer can find themselves in trouble. Spread the message, stay safe, and keep those we love out of harm’s way. Our thoughts are with Declan’s family at this difficult time. 🌊❤️
