An incredibly important conversation to have as we go into the summer holidays!

💧 Water safety is uppermost in many parents' minds now the summer holidays have started.

Talking to teenagers about staying safe can be tricky - especially when you want to guide them without lecturing.

The Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK toolkit is designed to help you start calm, realistic conversations about water safety that teens are more likely to listen to.

The "Have the Conversation" toolkit includes simple prompts that help young people understand the risks of open water and make safer choices when hanging out with friends near rivers, lakes, beaches and other bodies of open water.

Many drowning incidents don’t happen during extreme activities - they happen in everyday situations, with friends, in places that feel familiar.

This week is a scorcher 🌞, so whatever your plans, and ask yourself 3 questions before you set off…

1) Do I have the knowledge and skills to stay safe? Remembering how to or avoid a rip current might save your life!

2) Do I know what the weather will be like? Check the coastal forecasts, an offshore wind can blow you into trouble

3) Do I have the right gear? Sunhat, sunglasses, suncream (SPF 30+) and plenty to drink are a must, and if you are planning to paddleboard, don't forget to wear your buoyancy aid and a leash
