is the National Water Safety Forum’s campaign for World Drowning Prevention Day 2026. For the second year in a row, we’re encouraging as many people as possible to learn a lifesaving skill – the science-backed self-rescue technique of floating.

• 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 can.

With another Heatwave bringing hot weather🥵 to us for the coming week people will be looking for ways to cool down either in the sea,lakes or bodies of water inland. We urge you to take care and remember the effects of cold water shock, whilst the temperatures may seem hot on land the water temperatures can still be cold enough to bring on Cold water shock -always acclimatise yourself slowly to the water.

Stay safe this summer with these key messages:
Float To Live
If you find yourself struggling in the water:-
• 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 in trouble:
📲 Phone, Float, Throw
✅ Call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard
✅ Encourage them to float
✅ Throw something that floats, don’t enter the water after them

Always check the local tide times and forecasts before venturing out and take a means for calling for help.
