With the current soaring temperatures we thought best to highlight this again! COLD WATER KILLS. Please enjoy the weather but be smart and stay safe!

In response to the recent terrible events on the news and within our rugby community, our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the youngsters who have sadly lost their lives in recent Days & we wanted to help raise awareness of water safety.

We cannot stress the importance of the information detailed below and on the poster attached. Please Read and share...

❄️🌊 COLD WATER KILLS – STAY OUT. STAY ALIVE. 🌊❄️

At Oulton Raiders ARLFC , the safety of our players, families and community always comes first 💙💛

Cold water can be extremely dangerous, even on warm days. Rivers, lakes, canals, quarries and the sea can cause cold water shock in minutes.

Please take a moment to talk to your children about staying safe around open water:

✅ Don’t go near water alone
✅ Stay away from edges and slippery banks
✅ Never jump into unknown water
✅ If someone is in trouble – call 999 and throw something that floats

Water is NOT a playground.

Let’s all look out for each other and keep our Raiders safe 💙💛
