🏊 Gary's Water Safety Tip | Personal Safety in the Water
Gary, one of our swimming teachers at Active Luton, continues our Drowning Prevention Week series with another simple but potentially life-saving tip.
If you find yourself in difficulty in the water:
✅ Roll onto your back, spread out like a star and float
✅ Stay calm and control your breathing
✅ Once recovered, call for help and head to safety
Learning to swim is one of the most important life skills for staying safer around water. It helps build confidence, awareness and ability to respond calmly if something goes wrong. Through our Learn to Swim program, we support children and young people to develop these essential skills for life.
