Summer Water Safety 2024
Dear Parents
Please find attached a poster from Royal Life Saving Society UK in regards to Summer Water Safety.
Fire and Rescue Service issued below message to remind the public that:
“The water may look calm on the surface, but there can be strong undercurrents that could pull even a strong swimmer under the water.
“And even when the weather feels very hot, the water may feel warm on the surface, but just a few feet below the surface it can be icy cold – affecting the stamina and strength of even strong swimmers.
“If you are with someone who gets into difficulty, call emergency services for help. If you can, use an object to try and reach for them, but don’t put yourself in danger by entering the water.”
Kind Regards
AECPS
