Same advice goes for time at the beach, picnics at the park near ponds or lakes, rivers, hot tubs, paddling pools, bathtime at home, the list goes on ……….
Always supervise children around water.
Enjoy the water while staying vigilant 🧡

A lack of supervision was identified as a contributory factor in 83% of child accidental drownings (which have doubled over the last four years), according to the National Child Mortality Database.

It's an uncomfortable fact, but important to be aware of. Please ensure children are supervised whenever in, on or around water - including at home.

Life is busy. A juggle. Fast paced….
To look after ourselves we need to take some time out.

🧡 I’ve been lucky to have had a great summer, spent with family and friends celebrating special birthdays, surprise birthdays, festivals, holidays with a bit of work scattered in helping lifeguards renew their qualifications.
Quality me time, swimming for me, near and further afield. What a beautiful country we live in! 🌅

Getting back into a routine with its constant juggle has taken some time.

🥶 The darker colder days are approaching.
