RESPECT THE WATER
IF YOU’RE STRUGGLING IN THE WATER, LEAN BACK AND FLOAT ON YOUR BACK, EXTENDING YOUR ARMS AND LEGS. FLOAT TO LIVE.
IN A COASTAL EMERGENCY, CALL 999 OR 112 AND ASK FOR THE COASTGUARD.
Sadly, around 138 people die by accident in UK and Irish coastal waters each year.
If you find yourself in danger in the water, remember, float to live.
