CPR should be administered if someone is not responding and not breathing normally. But what does abnormal breathing actually look or sound like?
Swipe through to find out!

ALT An individual performs a breathing check on another person lying down, with a caption 'Let's define Abnormal breathing' in a green box.

ALT The same individual is seen performing CPR on the unconscious person. The text overlay, titled "What is abnormal breathing?" in bold green, explains that abnormal breathing occurs when oxygen is no longer reaching the brain during cardiac arrest. It describes abnormal breathing as irregular, shallow, and possibly sounding like snorting, gurgling, or gasping.

It is important to know what to do if you are being pulled out to sea by a strong rip current.
Rip currents can quickly pull you into deeper water and it can feel like you're being pulled out to sea.
Stay safe with these tips.

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!

⚠️ A yellow weather warning has been issued by the Met Office.
Please do not go swimming in open water even if the water looks calm.
Very cold-water temperatures, even in hot weather, strong hidden currents & debris under the water line can hinder your swimming abilities.
