🛟 Know the Water Safety Code 🛟
This summer, we're encouraging everyone to learn the Royal Life Saving Society UK's Water Safety Code.
Whether you're visiting the beach, a lake, river or swimming pool this summer, these simple steps could help save a life:
🧠 Stop and Think
Take a moment to look for potential dangers and make safe choices before entering the water.
👨👩👧👦 Stay Together
Always stay close to friends and family around water. Never swim alone.
📞 Call 999 in an Emergency
If someone is in trouble, call 999 immediately. If you're at the coast, ask for the Coastguard.
💙 Float if You Get into Trouble
If you find yourself struggling in the water, float on your back, keep calm and control your breathing until help arrives or you can swim to safety.
By learning and sharing the Water Safety Code, we can all help prevent drowning and enjoy the water safely this summer.
