Rivers, quarries and lakes may feel warm on the surface but just a few feet below it can be icy cold - and very quickly and seriously affect your stamina and strength.

If someone else falls into the water – Call, Tell, Throw.
If you see someone in trouble in the water, remember this lifesaving advice.
- Call 999
- Tell them to float on their back
- Throw something to help them float

*** Call out update ***
Last week, the team responded to two separate call outs, assisting both North West Ambulance Service and Cheshire Police

Its Be water aware week! If you found yourself struggling in the water unexpectedly, your instinct would tell you to swim. But cold water shock could make you gasp uncontrollably. Then you could breathe in water and drown. Instead, you should Float to Live.
Remember it. Share it.

Happy St George's Day from all at Cheshire Constabulary 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Whatever today looks like for you, we hope you have a peaceful one!

This week is the National Fire Chiefs Council drowning prevention campaign.
Cheshire Search and Rescue is supporting to raise awareness of the risk of accidental drowning and reduce these preventable deaths in the UK
