๐ If you fall into cold water, this one technique could save your life.
As the weather warms up, more of us are heading near the water โ and every year UK lives are lost to cold water shock. The instinct is to panic and thrash, but that's the most dangerous thing you can do.
Instead, remember Float to Live:
๐ Lean back and float
๐ Spread your arms and legs
๐ Let the cold water shock pass
๐ Control your breathing, then call for help or swim to safety
It works at the coast, in rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Please share this with someone you care about. ๐
๐ Learn first aid properly with EMT First Aid โ courses across Kent & London, plus online. Link in bio.
