🌊 Sea Swimming isn’t the same as pool swimming.

🚩 Know Your Flags
⛔️ Red — No swimming/bathing at all
⚠️ Orange windsock — Strong winds
✅️ Red & Yellow — Lifeguarded zone. Swim only between them.

👶 Kids + Water = You Stay Close! Never let children enter the sea alone. Even knee‑deep.

🌊 Sea & River vs Pool
Currents pull you sideways or out.
Tides rise fast.
Cold water shock hits instantly.
Hidden hazards you can’t see.

🚨 If an Emergency Happens:

* Call 999 and ask for Coastguard.
* Raise the alarm — shout for help, alert lifeguards immediately.
* Don’t enter the water!! Most drownings happen when someone tries to rescue another person.
* Use flotation — throw a buoy, board, or anything that floats.
* Tell them to float — encourage the casualty to lie back, spread arms and legs, and keep calm.
* Keep eyes on them — point to their location and guide rescuers in.

It's Drowning Prevention Week, and our theme this week is Water Safety. 🛟

Throughout the week, we'll be helping our swimmers build important lifesaving skills and sharing simple tips that can help keep children safe in and around water.

Because learning to swim is about more than strokes...it's about confidence, awareness and staying safe. 💜
