This afternoon, personnel from Clydebank and Greenock Coastguard Rescue Team took part in a joint training exercise to test our response to a mud rescue incident.

Our personnel were put through their paces which saw 10 officers deploy onto the mud to practice their skillset.

Well done to all attending officers.

This evening personnel from Clydebank Coastguard Rescue Team and Greenock Coastguard Rescue Team were welcomed by the crew of Loch Lomond Rescue Boat who took time to share about their capability of inland water rescue as well as the kit and techniques used.

This was an exciting opportunity to meet with rescue colleagues and learn the different challenges faced as well as seeing how they operate and share experiences.

We look forward to working alongside LLRB in the future.

Even in high temperatures, cold water shock is still a risk.

Water temperatures can vary significantly, even on hot days, so it’s important to take extra care when entering the water.

Cold water shock can increase your heart rate and blood pressure, causing involuntary gasping and hyperventilation, which can quickly lead to panic and drowning.

Before entering the water, acclimatise slowly, never jump in, and always stay within your limits.

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