When have boys ever paid any attention to public information? Boys have been dying in water on hot days since time immemorial.

If it saves one it's worth it, and how do you know it hasn't in the past?

Lumping children or genders into neat little boxes is not my remit, maybe there's a pamphlet you could recommend that sets out specific behaviours.

Sad but true; a friend of my sister-in-law drowned in a flooded quarry about 4 years ago (when they were 15/16) and the place is surrounded by fences / huge and very visible warning signs about the danger of drowning...

Sadly teenagers and young people are hard-coded to feel invincible, and that leads to these situations. Climbing around building sites, or train tracks, are another common source of these accidents with young teens.
