If you fall into cold water, remember: FLOAT TO LIVE

✅ Control your breathing
✅ Float on your back
✅ Keep your hands still – don't wave them about
✅ Make a fist if you need to signal for help
✅ Call for help when you can

Cold water shock can make it hard to think and breathe. Taking a moment to float and regain control can save your life.

Water Safety Week

If you see someone struggling in the water, remember:
Don't go in throw something that floats!

You can use:
🛟 A rescue float or buoy
⚽ A ball
🧴 An empty plastic bottle with the lid secured

Any safe floating object that can help them stay afloat until help arrives

Call for help immediately and encourage the person to hold onto the float while waiting for assistance.

A friendly reminder: whenever possible, swim at dedicated swimming venues such as swimming pools or designated open-water areas where lifeguards are present. Choosing supervised locations helps keep everyone safer in and around the water.

Stay safe, stay aware, and help spread the message this Water Safety Week!

Water Safety Week at Wantage Leisure Centre 🚨

With summer fast approaching, water safety is our top priority.

Take a look at our lifeguard team in action during a recent rescue training drill. Our team trains every month to ensure that the Centre remains a safe environment for you and your family to enjoy.

As the warmer months approach, please remember these essential safety rules:

1️⃣ Supervise children closely at all times.

2️⃣ Never swim alone, whether at the pool or the beach.

3️⃣ Float to Live, if you find yourself in trouble, lean back, relax, and float on your back.

Thank you to our dedicated lifeguard team for their continuous hard work and vigilance.

Enjoy the water safely this summer! 👍

Drowning Prevention Week 🌊

This week during our Swimming Lessons, we will be focusing on important water safety and drowning prevention skills. These key skills can help swimmers stay safe and know what to do if they ever find themselves in difficulty in or around water.

To help make our lessons as realistic and engaging as possible, we kindly ask all for their child to wear in the pool during their lesson. Please ensure that children bring clothes to wear over their usual swimming costume as this helps children experience how it feels to move in water while fully clothed and teaches valuable self-rescue skills.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to an important week of learning and water safety! 🏊‍♂️

If you ever fall into water unexpectedly or begin to feel overwhelmed, try to remember these important steps:

🌊 Stay calm
🌊 Float on your back
🌊 Control your breathing
🌊 Call for help

Cold water shock can happen quickly and panic can make situations worse. Floating helps you regain control of your breathing and conserve energy until help arrives.

🌊 Water Safety Week at Wantage Leisure Centre 🌊

We're proud to be supporting Water Safety Week with our brand-new water safety display in the Pool Viewing Gallery!

A huge thank you to Vicky, who has worked incredibly hard to create and put together this display. Her creativity and dedication have helped transform the gallery into an informative and engaging space that highlights important water safety messages for swimmers of all ages.

The display covers a range of key topics, including staying safe at the beach, rivers, lakes, pools, and at home, as well as vital information for children, teenagers, young adults, and parents. Learning to swim is an essential life skill, but understanding how to stay safe around water is just as important.

We encourage all our visitors to take a few moments to explore the display during their next visit and pick up some valuable water safety tips ahead of the summer season.
