⚠️Stay safe:

• Enter the water slowly and carefully
• Stay within reach of others
• Swim in supervised, lifeguarded areas

🛟In an emergency:

• If you fall in or become tired, stay calm, float on your back, and call for help
• If you see someone in difficulty, throw them something that floats
• Call 999
• If you're at the coast, ask for the Coastguard

Take 5 minutes to read our essential summer water safety advice, it could make all the difference in an emergency: www.rlss.org.uk/summer-water-safety

Air temp isn’t water temp. Stay safe.

Entering cold water makes you GASP.
Cold water increases your breathing and heart rate, causing PANIC.
Your muscles will get too cold, making you uncoordinated and WEAK.

RLSS UK’s advice is:
• Choose lifeguarded spots
• Never swim alone
• Wear bright colours
• Enter the water slowly
• Get out before you get cold

If you get into trouble, Find Your Float.

It may feel warm outside, but the water isn’t.
