It’s certainly warmer now so if you’re planning a trip on/near water make sure you check the weather & tide times. The current can also be deceiving. Water temp will still be low enough to cause #ColdWaterShock so #FloatToLive if in trouble & call 999 immediately.
#WaterSafety
Nearly half of drowning victims had no intention of entering the water. If you unexpectedly find yourself in cold water - three words can save your life. FLOAT TO LIVE until #ColdWaterShock passes and you can control your breathing #999Coastguard #RespectTheWater #FloatToLive
