We have been saddened to hear about the tragic loss of several young people during the recent heatwave we have had, it’s a heartbreaking reminder that cold water shock is very real 💔
Even on hot days, open water can be dangerously cold and can cause an involuntary gasp response, breathing difficulties, panic and loss of strength within seconds.
Please respect the water and stay safe this summer ☀️🌊
DO:
• Enter the water slowly and get your breathing under control 
• Acclimatise gradually
• Float to live if you cannot reach the shore 
• Choose lifeguarded areas where possible
• Wear a tow float if open water swimming
• Know your exit point
DON’T:
• Jump straight into cold water
• Swim alone
• Mix alcohol with swimming
• Underestimate rivers, lakes or the sea
• Panic if the cold takes your breath away, float, breathe, recover
The water can look inviting, but conditions underneath can be very different. Please look after yourselves and each other 💙

More money for Scotland’s swimming pools will be at the centre of a debate in Parliament on Tuesday 6 January.

MSPs will discuss a petition lodged on behalf of Scottish Swimming, calling for support to keep pools and leisure centres open.

The Petition’s Committee has already heard evidence from coaches, swim groups and elite athletes – including Olympian Duncan Scott.

The debate, which takes place at 3pm, is likely to cover key points, including:

🟣 The importance of pools for health, wellbeing, and water safety
🟣 Significant financial challenges being faced by facilities
🟣 Scotland’s high drowning rate and the importance of children’s swimming lessons

📺 Watch the debate ‘Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee Debate: Petition PE2018: Recognise the Value of Swimming Pools and Provide Financial Relief to Help Keep Pools Open’ live on Tuesday at 4.10pm: https://ow.ly/9bj050XRXBG
