Following a concerning increase in water-related deaths last year, the Mineral Products Association is one of over 50 organisations that are for the first time issuing coordinated water safety advi.
Cornwall recorded the highest number of drowning deaths of any UK region over the past five years, the latest figures reveal.
Data shows 80 people drowned in the county during this period, the equivalent of more than one every month, followed by 55 in Devon and 54 in Kent.
The figures from The National Water Safety Forum show men are far more likely to die in the water than women, making up 82 per cent of total fatalities, with young men aged 21 to 25 the most affected age group.
Almost half of all those who drowned had not intended to enter the water, according to the data.
