Sunshine, splashes and staying SAFE πβοΈ
The warmer weather is finally here, and with the Bank Holiday weekend coming up, lots of families will be heading to the beach, rivers, lakes and pools.
Water can be great fun, but itβs always important to stop, think and stay safe especially around open water, where it can be colder, deeper and more dangerous than it looks.
Thatβs why weβre sharing our SAFE Code:
π S β Spot the dangers
Look out for tides, currents, hidden hazards and unsafe edges.
π A β Take advice
Read safety signs, listen to lifeguards and only swim where itβs safe to do so.
π F β Go with a friend
Stay with friends or family and never swim alone.
π E β Know what to do in an emergency
Call 999 or 112, shout for help and never enter the water to rescue someone.
According to RLSS UK, 47% of accidental drownings happen between May and August, so now is the perfect time to help children, families and friends feel more confident around water.
Have fun, enjoy the sunshine and look after each other this Bank Holiday weekend π
