The forecast for the weekend might be sizzling, but the sea around the UK and Ireland is still low enough to cause cold water shock. If you get into trouble in the water, stay calm and #FloatToLive until you can get control of your breathing.

Big shout out to all the RNLI beach lifeguards who are doing a fantastic job at the moment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 especially being outside all day in these hot temperatures #rnli #beachlifeguards

On Sunday, we’ll mark the first World Drowning Prevention Day, working with the United Nations and others to prevent these tragedies. In the last decade 2.5 million people lost their life in water. Help us to save every one #DrowningPrevention

Even an Olympic swimmer couldn't out swim the fastest rip currents, which have been clocked at around 5.5mph. If you get caught in one, don't fight it. Swim parallel to the shore. If you can't escape it, #FloatToLive. If you see someone in trouble, dial 999 for the Coastguard.

Yesterday RNLI volunteers responded to 45 call-outs 😃⚓️ #savinglivesatsea
