Inflatables are great for the pool, but they’re not safe for the sea.

Even in light winds, they can quickly drift you out to sea and put you in danger.

If you’re heading to the beach this bank holiday, leave inflatables at home and save them for the pool instead.

In an emergency at the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

Mud can trap you faster than you think.

Taking a dip in the sea on a hot day? ⛱️

Don’t be fooled, just because it’s sunny doesn’t mean the water is warm.

Entering cold water, whether deliberately or accidentally, can cause cold water shock.

When this happens, you may gasp involuntarily, followed by rapid breathing that can be very difficult to control. This can increase the risk of inhaling water and drowning.

Never jump straight in. Instead, enter the water slowly to help your body adjust, and avoid swimming alone. Wearing a wetsuit can also help by improving buoyancy and reducing the effects of cold water.

Don’t forget to have warm clothes ready for when you come back to shore.

In an emergency at the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

HM Coastguard responds to every Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) and Emergency Position Indication Radio Beacon (EPIRB) alert, including false alarms caused by incorrect disposal.

While these beacons have saved many lives, false alerts have led to unnecessary searches in places such as recycling centres, and calls going unanswered when beacon registration details haven’t been updated.

Chris Hopkins, Satellite Communications and UK Mission Control Centre Manager, said: “Our teams can’t stand down until they can be confident no one is at risk, so we encourage everyone to follow the three Rs when disposing of their beacon.”

Remove the batteries: Doing so stops the beacon from transmitting an alert. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions 🔋

Recycle responsibly: Once powered down, dispose of the beacon and batteries correctly, which usually means taking them to a recycling centre ♻️

Registry: Keep your beacon registration details up to date. If a beacon has been disposed of, delete the record from your online Beacon Account at

Please note that it is a legal requirement for all PLBs and EPIRBs carried on board UK flagged vessels to be registered and kept up to date.
