Today is @WHO World #DrowningPrevention Day. Why do we mark this day? It's not only about showing respect for all the families that have lost someone to drowning, it's also about raising awareness of the scale of the problem. Anyone can Drown, No one Should

[Tynemouth VLB @TynemouthVLB]

Brilliant work from Merlin and the team!

We were delighted to be invited to take part in this event organised by @Tyne_Wear_FRS to mark #WorldDrowningPreventionDay

[Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service @Tyne_Wear_FRS]

Did you know mimicking a starfish can help you stay afloat in the water during times of distress? 🌊

To mark #WorldDrowningPreventionDay, TWFRS along with its regional partners, have come together to join hands to form a unified floating circle.

🌞 Stay Safe Around Water as Temperatures Rise! 🌞

✅ Always swim with a friend at a lifeguarded venue.
✅ Stay within designated swimming areas.
✅ Check the water temperature before you swim.
✅ Wear a wetsuit if the water is chilly.

It's lovely to spend time AROUND water... but with data showing that in 2023, 50% accidental drowning fatalities never intended to enter the water, it's important to know how to say safe 🏖️

On the final day of #DPW, please RT🙏
