Even on warm days, the water can still be very cold and cold water shock is highly dangerous. We experience in increase in call-outs to water-related incidents in the summer months. Please help us to keep you safe and avoid entering bodies of water.
Would you know what to do if you got into trouble in the water?
Float to Live:
Tilt your head back and submerge your ears
Relax and try to control your breathing - Move your hands to help you stay afloat - It’s OK if your legs sink, everyone floats differently
Once you are over the initial shock, call for help or swim to safety.
Never enter the water yourself.
