🚨 12 lives lost in just one week. 🚨
The hot weather is here, but our inland waters are still freezing. With a tragic surge in water-related fatalities across the UK over the last few days, we urgently need to talk about open water safety and the very real danger of Cold Water Shock.
You don't have to be planning a swim to be at risk—almost half of all accidental drownings happen to people who never intended to enter the water in the first place.
Please take a moment to read and share this critical, life-saving advice from the RNLI and the Fire and Rescue Service before heading out this weekend:
✅ How to survive Cold Water Shock using the "Float to Live" technique.
✅ The hidden, lethal dangers of inland reservoirs and quarries.
✅ Why you should never jump in to save someone (and the "Phone, Float, Throw" protocol you should use instead).
Please read the advice, remember it, and share it with your friends and family. It could genuinely save a life this summer. 👇
