If you get into trouble in the water... float! 🛟

The best way to float:

💦 Tilt your head back with your ears submerged
💦 Try to relax and breathe normally
💦 You can gently move your hands and legs to help you stay afloat if you need to
💦Spread your arms and legs out to improve stability – and it's OK if your legs sink, we all float differently
💦 Once your breathing is under control, call for help or swim to safety

🛟 Practise floating in a supervised location like a swimming pool - ask your swim instructor for advice here at Warwick Schools 🏊

💦What is the safest position in the water, in an emergency?

🏊🏻The Back Float (Starfish Method) - This is the safest position and acts as a lifesaving skill in the water.

Here's how to teach your child effectively step by step

✅Get in the water and relaxed: Have the child get comfortable in shallow water with their ears submerged.

✅Deep Breath: Have them take a deep breath and hold it. Air acts like a built-in life jacket and keeps the body buoyant.

✅Tilt Back: Ask them to tilt their head back as if they are looking at the sky or resting their head on a pillow in the water.

✅ Starfish Arms: Have them spread their arms and legs out to the sides into a "starfish" shape. This distributes their weight evenly.

✅ Leg Position: Let their legs sink slightly as they naturally want to, this is completely normal, as everyone's body floats differently.

🏊Swim England and the National Swim Safety forum emphasize the importance of staying safe around water by using the water safety code 🕵️‍♀️

Here are their 5 Top Tips in staying safe this summer!

✅Swim in safe places: Always choose venues with lifeguards, organized sessions, or supervised areas.

✅Stay together: Never swim alone! Always swim with a buddy and keep younger children within arm’s reach.

✅Know your limits: Enter the water slowly to acclimatize to cold temperatures, and don’t stay in for too long.

✅Float to live: If you get into trouble in open water, flip onto your back to float while your breathing regulates, then call for help.

✅Use the right equipment: Wear bright items (like a tow float or swimming hat) so you are visible, and always have a means of contacting help.
