With Met Office amber warnings for extreme heat in place for the coming days, it's vital you and your family know how to stay safe in, on, and around water.
If you fall into water or become tired — stay calm and float. 💧
Float to Live:
• Tilt your head back and keep your ears in the water
• Relax and focus on controlling your breathing
• Spread your arms and legs to stay stable
• Gently move your hands if needed
• Once calm, signal for help or swim to safety
If you see someone else in trouble, throw them something that floats.
