This week is Drowning Prevention Week (June 13-20).

Here are some splash parks and water sports centres to stay cool. As warm temperature continues this weekend, beware of the hidden hazards swimming in open water. This includes debris, unpredictable currents and sudden drops in depth. Also, even on the warmest days, rivers and lakes stay surprisingly cold. Why not try one of the county's many organised venues to stay cool in the water. Find out more about enjoying the water safely at: https://orlo.uk/J5z10

If you get into trouble in the water, remember:

Float to Live. 💙

If you fall in or become tired, stay calm, float on your back, and call for help. If someone else is in trouble, throw them something that floats.

How to float:
• Tilt your head back to keep your airway clear
• Keep your ears submerged in the water
• Relax and focus on your breathing
• Spread your arms and legs to stay balanced
• Gently move your hands and feet if needed

Learn more about floating in our Water Safety Code: www.rlss.org.uk/water-safety-code

RNLI has great Float to Live advice on their pages.

RLSS UK is partnering with The Mirror on the powerful new water safety campaign ‘Save Lives for Sam’.

Working in collaboration with The Mirror and MP Lee Pitcher, MP for Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme, the campaign aims to prevent water-related tragedies across the UK. The new campaign will lobby the government to create REAL change, and will run through to the start of the summer holidays.

This campaign urgently calls for:
• A national Public Health & Safety Awareness Campaign on TikTok and social media to raise awareness among parents and children of water-related risks
• Increased accountability for water companies, landowners, and those in control of large bodies of open water to take ownership and implement proper safety measures and install appropriate rescue equipment.
• The introduction of compulsory pre-holiday school lessons covering water safety, including the Water Safety Code, Float to Live, and Phone-Float-Throw advice.
• Progression of ‘Sam’s Law’ into legislation to require safety equipment at high-risk large bodies of water and make its damage or theft an aggravated criminal offence.

As communities prepare for summer, this is a crucial moment to make water safety a national priority.

Together, we can help more people stay safe and save lives.

👉 Follow us to see the campaign take place and support the call for change.
