Here’s one of our super swimmers showing us how to float in the pool:

- head back, ears in the water
- relax and breathe slowly
- gently move you arms and legs if you need
- as everyone floats differently

Thank you and well done to Aimee! 👏

Essential reading regarding cold water shock and our open waters...

Cold water shock can affect anyone - even strong swimmers, even on hot days.

• Warm weather doesn't mean warm water - open water stays dangerously cold.
• Cold water shock causes an involuntary gasp and loss of breathing control within seconds - even for strong swimmers.
• Even confident swimmers can quickly lose strength, control, and coordination. Panic makes it worse.

It doesn't take long for things to go wrong in open water - even for strong swimmers.

FLOAT TO LIVE

Learning how to float in the water could save your life. Practice with family and friends - it's an essential life skill for everyone at any age.

Everyone floats differently so FIND YOUR FLOAT!

You can view more resources at RNLI and if you're a non-swimmer, nervous swimmer or just someone that would like to brush up on your swim skills, I highly recommend getting some swimming lessons.

During the summer term at our swim school (now!) we focus on water safety - ALL our swimmers will be practicing how to float on their backs amongst many other water safety skills.

Whatever your swimmer needs to settle into lessons, we'll try to help! This swimmer needed her teddy to watch her swim 🥰
