Always read the signs and understand what they mean. - **STAY TOGETHER**: Never go near water on your own. Always have an adult with you. - **FLOAT**: If you fall in, float or swim on your back and stay calm. Throw something that floats to someone who has fallen in. - **CALL 999 or 112**: In an emergency call 999 or 112 (for the coastguard) As the weather gets warmer and more people spend time around pools, lakes, rivers, and beaches, it is important to keep water safety top of mind. Always supervise children closely when they are near water, ensure everyone wears appropriate flotation devices when needed, and never swim alone. Be aware of local water conditions, follow posted safety signs, and avoid swimming in unfamiliar or unsafe areas. By taking simple precautions and staying alert, we can all help prevent accidents and enjoy water activities safely throughout the season.
