Going for a dip in the sea this winter? 🏊

✔️ Don't swim alone
✔️ Be seen – a brightly coloured swim cap & tow float will help
✔️ Check the weather
✔️ Take a mobile

If you get in trouble in the sea/at the coast call 999 Coastguard 🚨

Following the sad events in @Pembrokeshire #Haverfordwest one week ago and the loss of life since, we have seen several comments on social media stating that events like this are 'inevitable'... Please remember drowning is wholly preventable. #parchwchydwr #respectthewater 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😢

A woman was rescued from the outer reaches of a harbour last week after managing to board a moored boat and contact the coastguard through its radio.

[🛟Open Water Related incidents & advice🛟 @OpenWaterAdvice]

The question I’ve been asked recently is “why are water safety campaigners active all year round”?

Sadly open water doesn’t discriminate, open water takes no prisoners. Water-related incidents happen all year round, not just when the suns out.

My aim is to help educate &

We warned of the dangers of swollen rivers, and it sadly appears 2 people have drowned near to where this photo was taken yesterday by our Chair... 😢💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳�� thoughts with family and friends of those lost to water @chriscousens @RNLI @Pembrokeshire @mawwfire
