This weekend brings warm, sunny weather across much of the UK, with temperatures set to reach 34°C in some areas. If you’re heading near water, know the risks and stay prepared.

🚫 See someone in trouble? Don’t go in - throw something that floats.

If you fall in or start to feel tired, remember: stay calm and float.

Float to Live:
• Tilt your head back so your ears are in the water
• Relax and focus on steady breathing
• Spread your arms and legs for balance
• Make small movements if needed
• Once calm, signal for help or swim to safety

Always follow the Water Safety Code: Stop and think. Stay together. Call 999. Float.

Cheer loud. Stay smart. Get home safe. ⚽️

Wherever the night takes you, keep water safety in mind. Don't drink and drown.

Stay safe during the World Cup:
• Think ahead – avoid routes by water and stick to busy, well-lit areas
• Don’t split up – and make sure everyone gets home safely
• No late-night swims – alcohol + water is a risky combo

✅ Good nights end with everyone home safe

Red and amber weather warnings are in place across the south of England and Wales today and tomorrow.

Busy beaches, changing weather, and unpredictable currents can all pose risks, especially when children are involved.

If heading to the coast:
🌊 Check the tides – rising water can quickly cut people off in bays and along the coast. Plan ahead and know the tide times before you go.
👥 Stay close – even on lifeguarded beaches, active supervision is essential, particularly when it’s busy and children are harder to spot.
🏖️ Know before you go – check if a lifeguard is on duty and understand beach flags.
