On World Drowning Prevention Day we'd like to share 4 key water safety messages that we all should know.

*Stop & think - what could be the risks here? Check your environment for 10 mins when going in or being near water.

*Stay together - stay with friends, safety really is in numbers.

*Float - if you find yourself unexpectedly in water, lie back with your ears in the water so your face is clear of the water, relax, breath, make a plan.

*Call 999 - if you think someone is in trouble in the water, call 999 and ask for the coast guard.

Pembrokeshire has a wonderful beach lifeguard team. If you're heading to the beach, the safest place to swim & play is in between the red & yellow flags.

Weever Fish alert!!
The little blighters are back!
I stood on one for the 1st time ever today and our lifesaving club staff got 3 stings in a single session Saturday.
Boy it's painful!
(We all had bare feet)

It's time to wear wetsuit shoes or boots or flip flops, especially at lower tides (but i was mid tide and saturday staff were high tide).. they're easily avoided, their spines aren't very big.

If you do get stung, get the affected areas in water as hot as you can handle for as long as you can handle. (40mins suggested).
Take paracetamol and ibuprofen for pain and antihistamines for swelling & allergic reaction.
If it swells badly or you're in extreme pain, please visit a medical professional.
Beach lifeguards have the necessary kit...kettle and footl bath! (And pain relief in extreme cases).

Today Broad Haven Buccaneers Lifesaving Club passed a donation cheque to 2Wish Charity for £845.72
This was money raised during their monthly beach wellbeing sessions for children and family started up after an ex Club member, Joe George-Ellis, tragically took his own life at the age of 18yrs.
Our wellbeing sessions help to show children and families how getting outdoors and maybe into the sea, with like minded people, can help lift mood and gives a buzz that lasts all day.

Broad Haven Buccaneers Lifesaving Club also offers Lifesaving & water safety education to 8-15yr olds.
Saturdays 9.30am-11.30am.

2Wish Charity - When a family loses a child or a young adult the effects are devastating for all who knew and loved them.

Our mission is to ensure that all those affected by the sudden and unexpected death of a child or young adult aged 25 or under receive the bereavement support they need and deserve.

We provide immediate and ongoing support, such as memory boxes, bereavement rooms within hospitals, counselling, play therapy and complementary therapy.

This week is the start of the RNLI Float To Live Campaign.
It’s such a simple skill but it could save yours or someone else’s life.
Please share

Lie back with your ears in the water so your face is clear of the water
Try to spread into a wide (star) shape to spread your weight
Use your arms & legs gently if you need, it’s ok if your legs sink.
We all float differently. Keeping your face clear of the water is the important bit.

We couldn’t get to the main last Saturday so we had 2 mini ones..
Morning with Lifesaving Club & Sunset for a few friends of .wales Wild Swim Wales

Enough now. Look at how stunning our sea is - yet it’s acceptable for water companies to pour raw sewage in??
It must stop.

So this happened on Friday evening! I was a finalist in the ‘Unsung Hero’ category at The Pembrokeshire Sport Awards at Folly Farm.
After dreading the event & being under the spotlight on a stage (give me a beach any day!) and feeling quite daunted by the experience, I’ve now reflected lots and am utterly humbled by everyone that nominated & voted for me. Thank you all so much! 🙏🙏🙏

Water safety is such a huge part of what I do over all 3 businesses (Broad Haven Buccaneers Lifesaving Club, Wild Swim Wales & Sue’s Little Fish Swim School) and I’m passionate about spreading the water safety message far & wide!

Huge thanks to my wonderful team of staff & volunteers - I couldn’t do it all without you!! 😊❤️
