Heatwaves don't just bring high temperatures; they can also increase drowning risk.

Hot weather draws more people to the water, and you may be tempted to:
🔹 Stay in the water for longer or more frequent periods
🔹 Swim unsupervised in open water or take other risks around water
🔹 Enter cold water suddenly, especially when the air feels hot

How to stay safe:
✅ Choose supervised places to swim
✅ Don’t drink alcohol near water
✅ Always wear a life jacket while boating
✅ Enter unfamiliar or cold water gradually
✅ If you fall in or are shocked by cold, float on your back and control your breathing before trying to swim
✅ Always keep children within close, constant supervision around water
