Learn how to help
If you see someone in trouble in the water, here’s how you can help:

  • Keep calm – always think before you act
  • Try to get help – shout “help, help” as loud as you can
  • Reach out with a stick, a pole, a towel or clothing to pull the person to the waters edge – always lie down where you are trying to pull someone in so that you don’t get pulled in
  • If you can’t reach the person and no-one comes when you shout for help, telephone 999 or 112 and ask for help

NEVER JUMP INTO THE WATER YOURSELF!
