On the Sky News Daily podcast with Leah Boleto, Becky Ramsey - whose son, Dylan, died after getting into trouble in a quarry - shares why she thinks water safety should be on the national curriculum and Matt Croxall from the Royal Life Saving Society UK, explains the dangers of open water swimming.
