DAY 6: How to Save a Friend Without Jumping In! ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐ŸŽ’

If a friend falls into deep water this summer, your instant instinct might be to jump in after them. DON'T. โŒ You risk becoming a second casualty.

Here is the exact 3-step rescue plan you need to follow from the safety of the bank:

๐Ÿ“ฑ Step 1: Stay Together & Call 999
What to do: Never leave them alone to run for help. Keep your eyes locked on them, pull out your phone, and dial 999 immediately.

Who to ask for: Ask for the Coastguard if you are at the coast/Thames, or Fire and Rescue if you are inland at a lake or river.

๐ŸŽ’ Step 2: Use Whatโ€™s Around You
What to do: Scan the area for anything that floats or extends your reach.

Look for: Public lifebuoys, a long tree branch, a football, or even an empty plastic cool box. Throw the buoyant object directly to them so they can keep their head above water.

๐Ÿ›‘ Step 3: Lie Flat on the Bank!
What to do: If they manage to swim close to the edge, do not stand up to pull them out. If you pull them while standing, their weight can easily drag you straight into the water.

The safe way: Lie completely flat on your stomach on the ground to lower your center of gravity. Extend a long object (like a branch, hoodie, or towel) for them to grab onto and haul them to safety. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

๐Ÿค Stay Together, Stay Safe
Memorise these steps, share them with your teenagers, and let's look out for each other this summer.
Remember: Stay together, stay on the bank, and call 999! ๐Ÿ“žโœจ

๐Ÿ›Ÿ DAY 5: Stop and Think Before You Step In! ๐Ÿ›‘๐ŸŒพ

Out at our Erith, Crook Log, and Sidcup pools, our professional lifeguards are always watching out for you.

But when you are near open water like Danson Lake or the River Thames, that responsibility falls entirely on you.

The very first step of the Water Safety Code is simple but life-saving: STOP AND THINK. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿšซ Itโ€™s Not a Suggestion, Itโ€™s a Warning
When the weather gets hot, the impulse to just jump straight into the water is incredibly strong. But you have to fight that urge.

๐Ÿ‘€ Look at the Signs: "No Swimming" signs aren't there to ruin your funโ€”they are warning you about hidden dangers you literally cannot see from the bank.

โš ๏ธ Spot the Differences: In our leisure centre pools, the floor is flat, clear, and predictable. In open water, you are dealing with sudden drop-offs, tangled reeds, and dangerous underwater debris.

๐Ÿง—โ€โ™‚๏ธ The Hardest Part: Getting Back Out!
Think about the bank itself. If it is steep, muddy, or slippery, what happens if you slip or jump in?
In a lake or a tidal river like the Thames, finding an exit is often the hardest part. If you can't climb back out, panic sets in fast. ๐Ÿ›‘๐Ÿง—โ€โ™‚๏ธ

โ˜€๏ธ Don't Let a Sunny Day Turn Into a Tragedy
Never let a split-second decision change your life forever. Use your head before you use your feet. Stop and Think. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ญ

Want to enjoy the water without the risk? Come see us back at the pool for a fun, safe swim! ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธโœจ
