🚨You’ve seen the post above this one, Hunstanton RNLI called to two boys in difficulty in the water last night🚨

📣 The natural thing to do is go in after them… this instinct is to be fought

📣 The right thing to do is tell them to float and call for help

📣The best thing to do is not get in this position in the first place

The RNLI will ALWAYS be there to aid.
The RNLI will NEVER judge.

The RNLI crews are
🚨Courageous,
🚨Dependable ,
🚨Trustworthy,
🚨Selfless

All those values were lived by our crew last night… as with every one of the 8,700 RNLI shouts per year…..a most desired outcome. 👏👏

With hot weather here across the rest of week, Hunstanton RNLI is urging everyone heading to the coast or open water to take care and remember that the water remains dangerously cold, even on the warmest days.

Cold water shock can affect anyone and can lead to an involuntary gasp, panic and difficulty breathing, making it much harder to stay afloat and get to safety.

If you find yourself in trouble in the water, remember to Float to Live:

• Tilt your head back with your ears submerged
• Relax and try to control your breathing
• Move your hands and legs gently to help you stay afloat
• Once your breathing is under control, call for help or swim to safety

If you see someone else in difficulty, remember Phone, Float, Throw:

☎️Call 999 and ask for the Coastguard
🗣️Tell the person to float on their back
🛟Throw them something that floats
⛔️Never enter the water yourself
🛟 Be their fighting chance

Wherever you’re visiting the coast, please check tide times before setting out and make sure you are back on the main at least four hours before high tide.

Please share this advice with family and friends. A simple conversation or shared post could help save a life this summer.

One dare. One jump. One “it’ll be fine.”
That’s all it takes.
Be the mate who says: Nah, not worth it.

Share this advice and help your mates stay safe.

It's Drowning Prevention Week from 13th June to 20th June, an annual, nationwide water safety campaign designed to educate children and young adults in water safety and lifesaving skills.

It's hot out there!

☀️🌊Some areas of the UK are exceeding 30°C today. With many families enjoying the sun this half term, continue to do so, stay safe and sensible though and remember one thing if you're by the water:

- Tilt your head back with your ears submerged
- Relax and try to breathe normally
- Move your hands and legs to help you stay afloat
- It’s OK if your legs sink, we all float differently
- Once your breathing is under control, call for help or swim to safety.

Enjoy and stay safe 🌊 ☀️

☀️ ☀️ here we go…. The season is upon us! ☀️☀️

The Coast is stunning, take care of it, take care of you… here’s a reminder of just how to make the most of the coast….. safely…… 🌊 🌊

The water starts to look pretty tempting.

The water takes alot longer to warm up than the air. A few simple tips can help you enjoy the water.

Go into the water slowly, allowing your body to acclimatise to the water temperature.

Stay in an area, in your depth, where there is no current.

Get good control of your breathing before you leave this area.

Loss of control of your breathing, when you are unable to stand up in the water, is one of the most dangerous things that can happen to you, because it so often leads to drowning.

If you lose control of your breathe and are unable to stand up in the water - don't panic……

Fight your instinct to swim. Getting control of your breath should be your top priority.

Lie back in the water, until both of your ears are submerged and try to relax and float. The more you relax, the easier floating is!

Not everyone floats in the classic Starfish position, some people float vertically. For the purposes of getting your breath back all you need to have is your nose and mouth clear of the water and you expending as little energy as possible.

Once you're in your floating position, you will have control of your breath in as little as 30-60 seconds…. And all is calm again….

Enjoy, take care and make the most of the coast, safely. 🌊🌊
