On #DrowningPreventionWeek we are sharing important water safety messages with you.
🛟 Our colleagues at @SYFR have produced this powerful film based on a true story.
Meet Sam Haycock: “I did not expect to die today” ⤵️ #WYFRS50
If you see someone struggling in the water fight your instinct to jump in after them
📱Call 999
🗣️Tell them to float on their back
🛟Throw them something that floats, like a throwline
Your dog may love water, but if they ever get into trouble in it, do not attempt to rescue them. 🐶
Think! Who would rescue you? Most dogs manage to scramble out - some owners are not so lucky!
Keep dogs on a lead around water.🦮

Highway Code guidance on safe passing distances for people driving or riding a motorcycle when overtaking vulnerable road users, includes:
👉leave at least 1.5m (5 feet) when overtaking people cycling at speeds of up to 30mph, & give them more space overtaking at higher speeds
The sun is shining & it might be tempting to jump in the water to cool off, but remember rivers & lakes are still really cold.
Even when it's warm there's a risk of cold water shock which can cause cause panic, disorientation & loss of muscular control https://t.co/7fWXleIMkY
