**Drowning Prevention Week**
Cold Water Shock – the Facts
The term ‘cold water shock’ refers to a range of natural reactions that our bodies take to protect us when we enter cold water (although these reactions can sometimes work against us).
With cold water being anything from approximately the temperature of a swimming pool and below, we are not just talking about icy cold water here.
So what are the effects of Cold Water Shock?
There are three stages that your body goes through during cold water shock, starting with one that you will be familiar with a mild version of from getting into the swimming pool…a gasp for breath, this is then followed by rapid breathing (hyperventilation).
At the same time as your breathing goes out of control, your blood pressure shoots up as your body tries to keep your blood warm by moving it towards the middle of your body (this is why you go pale when you’re cold).
Once your breathing is back under control, this is your window to get out of the water before the further effects of cold water shock kick in.
As your muscles cool, your strength, endurance and muscle control reduces to the point when you can’t swim any longer so can’t rescue yourself. The point at which you can’t swim any more is called ‘swim failure’, and if you haven’t got out of the water or managed to get hold of a buoyancy aid (like a lifejacket) by this time, you will drown.
What about hypothermia?
There is a lot of talk of people dying from hypothermia after falling into cold water, but the truth is that unless they have a way of surviving past the point of swim failure (like wearing a lifejacket), you will drown before you become hypothermic.
Even in really cold water, it takes at least 30 minutes for you to become hypothermic. Crucially, hypothermia remains a risk even when you get out of the water unless you get out of the cold and warm up efficiently and quickly.
Is cold water shock really responsible for lots of drownings?
It is difficult to identify if cold water shock was the cause of a drowning or not, but this is what we know:
- All waters around the UK are cold enough to induce the cold shock effects, even in high summer.
- Over 60% of drownings are of people who have ended up in the water by accident, so they’re normally very close to the edge, but something stops them from being able to get out safely.
- A sudden rise in blood pressure can be fatal for people with a pre-existing heart condition. Each year a number of people who are suspected of drowning, turn out to have had a heart attack.
- Studies show that people’s ability to swim in cold water is much less than their ability in a warm swimming pool.
- Survivors of drowning have described how the effects of cold water shock made it difficult for them to survive.
What should you do if you fall into the water?
First, keep your mouth away from the water until you have your breathing back under control, you can do this by rolling onto your back and floating or paddling to stay at the surface.
Then, don’t waste any time and swim towards an exit before your muscles start to cool, or swim towards something that will help you to stay afloat whilst you are calling for help.
Finally, once you are out of the water re-warm yourself as soon as you can to avoid hypothermia.
Professor Mike Tipton on Cold Water Shock Professor Mike Tipton of the University of Portsmouth provides an excellent insight into the effects of cold water, why it can be dangerous and what can be d...

**Drowning Prevention Week**
Please take time to watch this Water Safety Code Animation as part of Drowning Prevention Week.
The animation walks through the water safety code which is the fundamental spine of all water safety education. It is designed to provide simple and easy to remember information that acts as both a proactive measure to help educate people to make early, critical decisions, and also to help people understand what they should do in an emergency.

Drowning Prevention Week
Do your children know how to stay safe around water?
Did you know that over 55% of parents surveyed said they would not be confident their child would know what to do if they fell into open water?
With figures indicating that around 25% of primary school pupils leave school unable to swim, there is a real fear that as a result of the pandemic many more children will lack the ability or confidence to swim or self-rescue, should they find themselves in difficulty in the water.
Fins Swimming Club are supporting the Royal Life Saving Society UK’s Drowning Prevention Week campaign, running from 17-24 June 2023, and urging our members to access the charity’s free online resources to ensure their children have the skills to enjoy a lifetime of fun in the water. With many of us opting for staycations once again this year, the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK), fears that families will flock to beaches and inland water locations this summer, without considering the potential dangers, putting themselves and others at risk. Or for those of us who will be venturing abroad for their summer holiday, they may find themselves using non-lifeguarded pools and therefore be at risk if they do not have the necessary water safety skills.
As children (especially boys) enter their late teens, they become increasingly more likely to take risks, with more than 300 people accidentally drowning every year. And for every drowning death that occurs, there are more than 10 near-drownings, with many of these leading to life-changing injuries.
During Drowning Prevention Week, we will be focussing our lessons around water safety, with lots of fun activities for children of all ages and abilities to be involved in - it's never too early or too late to learn how to stay safe and enjoy the water!
To give you or your loved ones a head start, why not book onto a summer crash course? We have group lessons (beginner to Stage 5) and 1-1/1-2 lessons (for all ages and abilities) available.

☀️☀️Summer Water Safety ☀️☀️
Drowning accidents are especially high in the summer months and over the last few years and recent weeks, we have heard of too many tragedies that could have been avoided.
Every year people drown both at home and on holiday because they don’t take simple precautions, so reaching people with water safety messages is vital. We want people to enjoy the water safely. Please help to avoid any tragedies this summer by spreading the following water safety advice far and wide.
In the last 5 years, 39% of all UK drownings occurred in June, July and August.

Following the tragic death of 4 children this week in Solihull, please talk to your children and share this message with them, your family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and those affected by this tragedy.
Always remember to stay away from the ice, even if it looks frozen – it is still fragile and can break easily. If you see anyone in trouble, call 999 immediately and DO NOT go in. Instead try to find something that you can reach them with or throw - things you may find include a rope, pole, clothing tied together, a scarf, or a buoyant aid like a ball.

Fins Swimming Club is a not for profit organisation with a community interest. Our aim is to increase the community’s awareness of swimming and promote water safety. We offer fun, friendly group and one-to-one swimming lessons with an emphasis on water safety as well as instruction in Rookie Lifesaving, Academy Swimming, Snorkelling, Diving and SwimFit. There are lessons for all ages and abilities from 4-month-old babies to adults. Children’s lessons have only 6 children in a class with two to three teaching staff in the water.
We enjoy supporting local community groups and are committed to community investment. We provide subsidised school swimming for the Surrey and Hampshire Educational Authorities as well as swimming sessions for local community groups. We happily arrange opportunities for work experience and the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
We are also one of the few private swimming schools in the country which is an Accredited Teacher Training Centre and we have achieved this status by working closely with Swim England and the Institute of Swimming. This is also instrumental in encouraging our enthusiastic teachers to continue their professional development to maintain our high standards.
