Summer Water Safety – Please Share 💧

As the weather improves, more young people are spending time near rivers, lakes and the coast. Tragically, nearly half of UK drownings happen between May and August, with teenagers among the most at risk. [rlss.org.uk]

Please take a few minutes to talk to your child about staying safe around water:
✅ Don’t jump into unknown water
✅ Be aware of cold water shock—even on hot days
✅ Avoid using inflatables in open water
✅ Never swim alone
✅ In an emergency, call 999 – don’t enter the water

Having these conversations can save lives.
