Our hearts go out to the friends and family of the two people who drowned in Greater Manchester reservoirs last week.

Even on warm days, open water can be extremely dangerous. Cold water shock, hidden depths, strong currents and steep banks can quickly turn a day out into an emergency.

If you’re visiting reservoirs, lakes, rivers or canals this summer:

* Never enter the water unless it’s a designated, supervised swimming area.
* Keep children within arm’s reach near the water’s edge.
* Stay away from slippery banks and unstable edges.
* Avoid alcohol if you’re spending time near water.
* If someone gets into difficulty, don’t enter the water yourself. Call 999 immediately and ask for the appropriate emergency service. If possible, throw something that floats and encourage them to float on their back until help arrives.

Take a moment to look after yourself, your family and your friends. A few simple decisions can save lives.

It's Drowning Prevention Week! Hosted by Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK

When swimming in the sea, it is important to know what the beach flags mean.

Red and yellow: Lifeguards on duty
- Between these flags is the safest place to swim, a lifeguard will be watching this area and be able to help you if you get into trouble

Red: Dangerous Area
- Lifeguards are not watching this area. You should not swim here.

Black and White: Water Sports Area
- Do not swim here. This area is for water sports. Those participating in water sports may not be able to see you very well and you could be injured.

Orange Wind Sock: Shows the direction and strength of the wind
- Beware of winds blowing out to sea.

Drowning is preventable

Here at Your Trust we provide high quality lifeguarding training. We work with NPLQ (National Pool Lifeguard Qualification) trainers to plan and deliver detailed, engaging and challenging sessions that cover all of the recommended content and more.
You are in safe hands with our lifeguards. Look out on our social media for when you can sign up for our next course!

Remember to always follow the Water Safety Code.
1. Stop and Think - assess your surroundings, look for any dangers and always research local signs and advice
2. Stay Together - always go with friends or family, it is best to swim at a lifeguarded venue
3. Call 999 - ask for the Fire and Rescue Service when inland (lakes, rivers etc.) and the Coastguard if at the coast. Do not enter the water to rescue.
4. Float to Survive - if you fall in or become tried - stay calm, float on your back and call for help. Throw something that floats to somebody that has fallen in.
