We've been experiencing some hot weather the last few weeks 🥵️

🌊 As tempting as cool blue water can look, the dangers of swimming in rivers and quarries remains the same even when the air temperature is higher than normal.

🥶 Cold water might seem refreshing, but ‘Cold Water Shock’, strong currents and hidden hazards beneath the surface can all be life-threatening.

If you fall into water unexpectedly, remember the RNLI’s float to live advice:
➡️ Fight the instinct to thrash about
➡️ Lean back, extend your arms and legs
➡️ Move gently if needed to help you float
➡️ Float until you can control your breathing
➡️ Only then call for help, swim to safety, or continue floating until help arrives
