🚨 5 life savings steps to follow in a water emergency 🚨

1. Keep calm and control your breath. Slow, deep breaths will help you stay afloat
2. Lay in the water and lean your head back. This helps you float easily
3. Extend your arms and legs, spread out and keep your balance
4. Rotate both arms and legs in a circular motion. This keeps you steady and floating longer. It's called active floating.
5. Signal for help by raising one hand. This alerts others that you need assistance.

These simple steps can save your life - watch this video for more tips!

Tomorrow, we're diving into SWIMSAFER week 💦

This year, the focus is on the essential skill of floating – a technique that can mean the difference between life and death in a water emergency.

Did you know that new research shows that 45% of children have poor or average floating ability.

This week, we'll be highlighting the crucial connection between mastering floating and learning to swim.

Keep an eye on our socials and in our swim school this week for more information!
