🌊 Water is great fun, but it's important to respect it too.

Open water can contain hidden hazards such as strong currents, cold temperatures and sudden changes in depth.

That's why we encourage everyone to follow one simple rule this summer:

🛟 No Lifeguard, No Swim

For safe family fun, enjoy a swim in our supervised pools at Active Lifestyles Stroud and Dursley.

⭐ The summer holidays are here! ⭐

The wait is over, and our holiday activities are about to get underway!

We're sure many of you will be looking forward to heading to the water this summer, and we want to take a moment to remind you of the water safety code, to help everyone have a happy and safe summer.

🧠 Stop and Think
Take a moment to look for potential dangers and make safe choices before entering the water.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Stay Together
Always stay close to friends and family around water. Never swim alone.

📞 Call 999 in an Emergency
If someone is in trouble, call 999 immediately. If you're at the coast, ask for the Coastguard.

💙 Float if You Get into Trouble
If you find yourself struggling in the water, float on your back, keep calm and control your breathing until help arrives or you can swim to safety.

By learning and sharing the Water Safety Code, we can all help prevent drowning and enjoy the water safely this summer.
