Education is key. Collaboration will enforce change. Safety equipment will save lives. Let's get water safety on the curriculum properly. Let's enforce that this is checked & enforced. Let's have rescue equipment around bodies of open water just in case.

Please retweet this water safety video by Darren Downes, the father of Ellis Downes who drowned in a river 2 years ago. In 2016 we recovered the bodies of 8 young men, in the last 5 weeks we have recovered 6 more. facebook.com/100000622989603…

School holidays are now well underway & we are urging people, especially children and teenagers, to think carefully before they go for a swim, as well as what they need to do to stay safe. For more information click here: ow.ly/rjXF30ldMV7

Do you know someone who had to be rescued from an inflatable on the water, who would be willing to speak to national press in the hope of getting the message out that these things are not for using at beaches/ rivers/sea The current could carry you away facebook.com/DoingItForDylan…

Everyone who falls into cold water unexpectedly wants to follow the same instinct: to swim hard and fight the water. But when you fight it, the chances are, you’ll lose. Instead you need to stay calm and #FloatToLive. Find out more at rnli.info/GQzMJA #RespectTheWater.
