💦 What should you do if someone gets into difficulty in the water?

❌ Never go into the water after somebody else.

✅ Instead, offer them help from a safe distance away from the water's edge.

🌊Yesterday, a team took to @uniofbath to raise awareness of the dangers of water this #BeWaterAwareWeek .

❓ Do you know what's lurking under the surface of the water?

⚠️ Don't take the risk - stay out of the water

👉 If someone get's into difficulty in water, it's as simple as #CallTellThrow :

📲 Call 999
⭐ Tell the person to float to live, on their back in a starfish shape.
