Heading out for a walk, run or family adventure this weekend? Make sure you know what to do if you end up in the water unexpectedly.

If you fall in, remember: Float to Live.

If you cannot climb out, wait for help and keep as still as possible. Preserve heat by pressing your arms by your side and keep your legs together. Keep your head clear of the water.

Stay calm, float on your back and call for help. Throw something that floats to somebody that has fallen in.

Enjoy the outdoors this weekend, but make sure everyone in your group knows what to do if the unexpected happens near the water. 🌊💙

Everyday Hero Spotlight: Harry 💙

While at Clevedon Marine Lake with friends, Harry noticed a man in trouble after he had dived into shallow water. Recognising the seriousness of the situation, Harry acted immediately, stabilising the casualty's head, removing him safely from the pool, and coordinating support until emergency services arrived.

Thanks to his quick thinking and lifesaving skills, the casualty received vital care while waiting for an ambulance. Harry then provided a full handover to the ambulance crew and continued to assist where needed.

Harry's actions are a brilliant example of an Everyday Hero using their training to make a difference when it mattered most. A huge well done to Harry for his bravery and confidence to act. 👏

Have you, or someone you know, been involved in a rescue? We'd love to hear your story. By sharing acts of bravery like Harry's, we can celebrate the extraordinary efforts of our Everyday Heroes and recognise those who help keep others safe around water.

👉 Submit your rescue story today and help us shine a spotlight on those making a difference: www.rlss.org.uk/rlssuk-report-a-rescue

Held on 31 October and 1 November, competitors took part in heats and finals across a range of exciting events, including line throws, obstacles, manikin carry and manikin tow, among others. Throughout the weekend, participants demonstrated impressive teamwork and skill as they put their lifesaving abilities to the test.

A huge congratulations to everyone who competed, and thank you to the volunteers, officials, and supporters who helped make the event such a success. 🏅💙

The event also provided an opportunity for RLSS UK President, Bryan Finlay, to meet with some members of the GBR Lifesaving Team, who will soon be heading to South Africa to compete at the Lifesaving World Championships later this month.

This October, Chloe Dalton took on an incredible 12,000ft skydive, raising vital funds for RLSS UK in memory of her younger brother, George, who tragically lost his life in May after entering open water.

Driven by a determination to celebrate George's life and raise awareness of drowning prevention, Chloe bravely completed the challenge and has raised an amazing £850 to support our lifesaving work.

We are incredibly grateful to Chloe for sharing George's story, helping to raise awareness of water safety, and supporting our mission to create a future free from drowning.

Thank you, Chloe, for your courage, bravery, and support. 💙
