🌊 Drowning Prevention Month: Submerge & Bounce 💙
Not every safe water skill is about swimming—sometimes it’s about problem-solving in the water.
✅ Ask your child:
What would you do if you unexpectedly fell into deep water and couldn’t touch the bottom?
💡 What is Submerge & Bounce?
Submerge and bounce is a technique used to help you stay afloat, keep breathing, and move towards safety when you can’t swim continuously.
🏊 How it works:
⬇️ Submerge
Gently dip under the water
Push down with your hands and feet
⬆️ Bounce back up
Use the push to bring yourself back up to the surface
Take a breath each time you rise
🔁 Repeat the movement
Keep a steady rhythm of down → up → breathe
Move gradually towards the side or a safe place
👀 Why is this important?
🫁 Helps you control breathing
Gives you regular chances to take calm breaths
💪 Builds confidence in deep water
Shows you that you can stay afloat even if you can’t touch the bottom
🛟 Buys you time
Helps you stay above water while waiting for help or finding an exit
💬 Start the conversation:
“Can you show how you would bounce up to get a breath?”
✅ Top tip:
Practise this skill in a supervised pool—it helps children feel confident if they ever end up in deeper water.
Let’s build confidence and safety skills that really make a difference 💙

🏊 Key features of survival stroke:
🐌 Slow, energy-saving movement
Gentle strokes like breaststroke, sidestroke, or long-arm doggy paddle
Helps conserve energy so you don’t tire quickly
❄️ Heat conservation
Keep your body low and avoid splashing
Reduces heat loss in cold water
👀 Sighting (looking ahead)
Regularly lift your head to check your surroundings
Helps you spot a safe exit or rescuers
🫁 Calm breathing and rhythm
Steady breathing keeps you in control
Helps prevent panic
🚫 How is this different from regular swimming?
🏁 Regular swimming:
Fast, powerful strokes
Uses lots of energy
Focused on speed or performance
🛟 Survival stroke:
Slow, controlled, and efficient
Designed to save energy and body heat
Focused on staying safe and afloat
👀 Why this is important:
Helps you stay afloat for longer if help isn’t nearby
Reduces the risk of exhaustion
Gives you time to think, signal for help, and plan your next move
💡 Why learning to swim well matters:
Good swimmers have better technique and control, making survival strokes more effective
Strong swimming skills help you stay calm and manage your breathing in an emergency
Confidence in the water makes it easier to switch from swimming fast to swimming for survival
The stronger your skills, the longer you can conserve energy and stay safe
💬 Start the conversation:
“Why do you think swimming slower could help you survive longer?”
✅ Top tip:
In an emergency: Slow down, stay calm, conserve energy, and keep looking for safety.
Let’s build swimmers who know how to survive, not just swim 💙

🌊 Drowning Prevention Month: Shout & Signal Rescue 💙
The safest way to help someone in trouble in the water is to stay out of the water yourself.
🎥 Watch the RLSS Shout & Signal Rescue video:
👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNZd-jBYN5g
✅ Ask your child:
What would you do if you saw someone struggling in the water?
💡 Shout & Signal – what it means:
🗣️ SHOUT
Call out: “Are you OK?” or “Help!”
Get the attention of others nearby
Call 999 for help
✋ SIGNAL
Point clearly to where the person is
Wave your arms to guide others or rescuers
Encourage them towards safety (edge, steps, lifebuoy)
🚫 Stay out of the water
This is the lowest-risk rescue method
Entering the water could put you in danger too
👀 Why this is important:
It keeps you safe while still helping someone in need
You can guide, reassure, and get help quickly
Trained rescuers can then take over safely
💬 Start the conversation:
“What would you shout to help someone stay calm?”
✅ Top tip:
Remember: Shout, Signal, get help—never put yourself at risk.
Let’s give children the confidence to help safely 💙
