If you are about to head outdoors for swimming for the first time this year, see these top tips for staying safe in open water: (click on article for more tips)

*Think before you swim. *Check your entry and exit points and take into account currents and tides
*Don’t mix swimming and alcohol
*Swim with other people – ideally that know the area and have swum in open water before
*Don’t jump in. Enter the water slowly to prevent ‘cold water shock’
*Let people know where you are and what you’re doing (e.g. inform beach lifeguards or even the coast guard if planning a long coastal swim)
*Make sure you’re visible in the water. *Wear a brightly coloured cap and consider using a tow-float
*If someone gets in trouble, don’t put yourself at risk but call for help – dial 999 or 112
*If you find yourself in difficulty FLOAT TO LIVE

I hope you click on it and read more.
