Throughout October, RLSS UK will be sharing some toadily awesome advice around Splash Safety at your Pad! 🐸

The focus this month will be bath time as we all hunker down ready to spend more time at home for Autumn...
Devastatingly, 2 in 3 children that drown at home, do so in the bath - so we're here to help make sure your froglets can't hop into harm.

Please help us reach as many young families as possible with this message by tagging fellow parents and hopping straight to the SHARE button! Thank you 🫧

Same advice goes for time at the beach, picnics at the park near ponds or lakes, rivers, hot tubs, paddling pools, bathtime at home, the list goes on ……….
Always supervise children around water.
Enjoy the water while staying vigilant 🧡

Lifeguarding standards abroad may differ from what you are used to at home. Never assume someone else is keeping an eye on your children whilst they are in the pool 🏊 Be your family’s lifeguard this summer ☀️ Stay safe by the water this holiday. Share this video to protect your loved ones. 💙 #EnjoyWaterSafely #WaterSafetyOnHoliday #WaterSafetyAbroad #SummerHoliday #WaterSafety #HolidayTips

Keep yourself and your loved ones visible in and around water 🧡

A lack of supervision was identified as a contributory factor in 83% of child accidental drownings (which have doubled over the last four years), according to the National Child Mortality Database.

It's an uncomfortable fact, but important to be aware of. Please ensure children are supervised whenever in, on or around water - including at home.

From SUPs to Kayaks, there are lots of wonderful ways to enjoy being ON the water, so it's important to know how to stay safe while doing so... 🛶

🐾 Keep children and dogs within reach

In an emergency:
📞 Call 999 immediately
🆘 If you find yourself in trouble, don't panic. Float and call for help.

🎉 Happy New Year 🎉
A’ the best for a happy and healthy 2024!

Have a great time if you’re oot & aboot celebrating but a quick reminder to look after the folk you’re with, more so if you’re anywhere near water.

Stay safe to enjoy all that this year brings 🧡

Life is busy. A juggle. Fast paced….
To look after ourselves we need to take some time out.

🧡 I’ve been lucky to have had a great summer, spent with family and friends celebrating special birthdays, surprise birthdays, festivals, holidays with a bit of work scattered in helping lifeguards renew their qualifications.
Quality me time, swimming for me, near and further afield. What a beautiful country we live in! 🌅

Getting back into a routine with its constant juggle has taken some time.

🥶 The darker colder days are approaching.
