On May 23, 2025, a seminar on water safety organized by the Latvian Nature Tourism Association took place, which brought together active representatives of the industry to strengthen both theoretical and practical knowledge. The seminar was led by trainers from the organization “Swim Safely” and was organized in two parts – theory and practical part in the swimming pool, based on the “learning by doing” approach. During the lesson, the participants assessed their buoyancy in the water, learned how to take off their clothes in the water. The participants gained an understanding of emergency situations in the water, what to do if they accidentally fall into the water, how easy or difficult it is to help someone get to the shore, how to help others if someone is in trouble on the water, and whether it is possible to do it.
The event was organized within the framework of the project “Baltic nature tourism – mastering the target market of the United Kingdom (CB0100030)” with the support of the European Union.
