Staying Safe Around Water

With the recent hot weather, it’s understandable that many young people are heading to open water to cool off.

Tragically, across the country there have been a number of incidents where individuals have got into difficulty, with devastating consequences.

Please take a moment to watch this short video on the “Float to Live” technique – it could save a life:

If you find yourself in trouble in the water:
Tilt your head back with ears submerged
Relax and try to control your breathing
Use your hands to help you stay afloat
Once calm, call for help or swim to safety

We encourage all members of our community to stay safe, look out for one another, and make sensible choices around water.
