World Drowning Prevention Day! #WDPD2023 #WaterSafety #RespectTheWater #BeWaterAware #DontDrinkAndDrown #SAFE_AND_DRY
Sadly, the majority of drownings in the UK happen on inland water such as rivers & canals.
If you fall in, try to get your breathing under control. Roll onto your back & float or paddle to stay at the surface, keeping your head above water #BeWaterAware orlo.uk/VVBLq
Monday May 06 Always check the weather and tides before venturing out. #RespectTheWater #BeWaterAware #BeCoastSafe #TideTimes #WaterSafety #Withernsea #HoldernessCoast #HoldernessTides
Anyone could drown, no one should. If you start to struggle in the water:
- Tilt your head back
- Relax, breathe normally
- Move your hands to help you float
- Spread your arms and legs out
- Call for help or swim to safety

Be careful not to lose your footing near water. Riverbanks and coastal paths can be unstable. Stick to proper pathways and keep clear of the edge.

A very full #Cauldron Falls in #Bishopdale after rain last week for #WaterfallWednesday ☔️
Take great care when walking close to water, especially after rain, the rocks can be very slippery.

Just about to go to bed? How about one more video.
It's time to #BeWaterAware and consider the risks you'll be exposed to getting in the water.
One of our colleagues Patrick has some advice for you in order to stay safe, and how to safe someone's life in the water.
We're fast approaching the summer.
But always remember the water in Scotland is dangerously cold all year round.
And always be prepared by wearing a wetsuit and a buoyancy aid #BeWaterAware ⬇️
40% of people who accidentally drowned had no intention of entering the water. Slips trips and falls were often the cause of these accidents.
Unseen hazards and cold water shock can mean even strong swimmers get into trouble.
