V important to avoid hidden dangers of cold water shocks or shallow water diving #bewateraware

It's looking like it's going to be a hot one in parts of West Yorkshire today ☀️

We know that it can be tempting to want to cool off in the hot weather.

But, please don't swim in reservoirs, rivers, lakes and canals.

Cold water kills. It's not worth the risk

#BeWaterAware

Do you love to spend time around water? Make sure you know what you should do if either you or someone else falls in. 44% of people who drowned in 2019 did not expect to enter the water #BeWaterAware

In this hot weather it can be tempting to cool off by jumping into open water. 🌊

Our advice? Don’t.

The rapid change in temperature can shock your body and kill you.

Speak to your kids about finding safe places to swim and not giving into peer pressure.

Don’t let it be you!

Following an incident we attended yesterday evening at Linacre Res, we would like to remind everyone to stay out of the water.
On this occasion, the young person was quickly located and helped to safety.
As inviting as it may look, open water is unsafe to enter.

Recreational waters exceed safe bacteria levels due to health departments pulling water samples from the surfing zones with delayed tests💧

As a result, swimmers don't know how much bacteria is in the water and can get affected‼️

“…getting all our children in the water is critical but teaching water safety in the classroom removes barriers and gives every child an understanding of safety, risk, and the chance to learn how to stay safe in and around the water, no matter their background.”👌Lee Heard

Please don’t swim in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, canals to cool off. You may think you are a strong swimmer however the cold can have a massive impact on how your body functions & can cause your body to shut down making it impossible to swim.

Stay together
It is always better to go to the water with a friend or family member
Children should always go near water with an adult
An adult can point out dangers or help if somebody gets into trouble.
Remember - Stay Safe - Think Water Safety!

GOV.UK (UK Prime Minister)
Children deserve to have #watersafety on UK School's National Curriculum.
Give them the skills which they need to save not only their own lives, but lives of others.

The water may look inviting but even on a warm day the water will be cold. It doesn’t matter if you are a strong swimmer. Jumping into the water to cool off can lead to cold water shock, which can result in drowning. #BeWaterAware
