In the water, standing out could save your life 🛟

Wearing bright colours can help others spot you faster if you get into difficulty in the water.

See how you can this summer.

Even on a warm summer's day, the water is often cold enough to cause cold water shock. The sudden gasp response, rapid breathing and loss of muscle control can affect anyone, no matter your age or how fit you are.

If you're paddling and you get into difficulty in the water, remember the 's Float to Live advice ⬇️

🩵 Tilt your head back with your ears submerged.
🩵 Relax and try to control your breathing.
🩵 Move your hands and legs gently to help you stay afloat.
🩵 Once your breathing is under control, call for help or swim to safety if you can.

If you see someone else in trouble:
📱 Call 999 immediately.
🛟 Encourage them to Float to Live.
🦺 Throw them something that floats if you can.
❌ Never enter the water yourself—you could quickly become another casualty.
