If a friend is in trouble in the water:
• DO NOT jump in after them. You will get into danger too.
• Call 999
• Shout to them to stay calm and float if they can.
• Throw something that floats, like a football, to help them stay above water.
• Stay where you are and keep watching them until help arrives.
DO NOT JUMP IN TO SAVE THEM! A person drowning is a panicked person. They are fighting for their life! They will drag you under the water if you go near them!
If you are in trouble and cannot get back to the edge
1. Lay on your back
2. Put your chin up and ears on!
3. Try to stay calm and shout for help!
