🌊 Drowning Prevention Month: Know the Signs of a Rip Current 💙

Rip currents can be difficult to spot—but knowing what to look for can save your life.

✅ Ask your child:
Do you know how to spot a rip current?

👀 Signs of a rip current:

A channel of choppy or rough water between calmer waves

A gap in the breaking waves

Water that looks darker (deeper) than surrounding areas

Foam or debris moving quickly out to sea

🚨 What to do if you get caught in a rip current:

🫁 Stay calm – don’t panic

You won’t be pulled under, just carried out

🛟 Float to live

Lie on your back and control your breathing

↔️ Don’t fight it

Don’t try to swim back against the current

🏊 Swim parallel to the shore

Once free, head back to the beach at an angle

🗣️ Raise your hand and shout for help

Lifeguards can spot and assist you quickly

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Talk to your child about why this is important:

Fighting the current can quickly exhaust even strong swimmers

Staying calm keeps you safe and helps you think clearly

💬 Start the conversation:
“What do you think you should do first if a current starts pulling you out?”

✅ Top tip:
Swim between the red and yellow flags—lifeguards place these away from rip currents.

Stay aware, stay calm, and stay safe at the beach 🌊

ICYMI: Every year, families head to pools, beaches and lakes, but every year, accidents happen that could have been prevented. 💧

Swimming lessons are one of the most important things parents can do to keep children safe and happy in the water. ⭐

If your child isn’t in lessons, start now. If they are, keep them going. ⬅️

Because knowing how to be safe in the water doesn’t happen overnight. 👉 https://orlo.uk/2GrkO

🏖️ Drowning Prevention Month: Know Your Beach Flags 🚩

Heading to the beach? Understanding the flags could save your life 💙

✅ Ask your child:
Do you know what the different beach flags mean?

🚩 Red Flag – Danger!

Do NOT enter the water

Strong currents or hazardous conditions

🟥🟨 Red & Yellow Flags – Safe Area

Lifeguarded swimming zone

Always swim between these flags

⬛⬜ Black & White Flag – Surf/Craft Zone

For surfboards, kayaks, and inflatables

Not safe for swimmers

👀 Talk to your child about why flags matter:

They show where it’s safest to swim

Lifeguards monitor flagged areas

Conditions can change quickly

💬 Start the conversation:
“Which flag would you choose if you wanted to swim safely—and why?”

✅ Top tip:
Always check the flags when you arrive and swim between the red and yellow ones.

Let’s stay safe and enjoy the seaside the right way 🌊

🌊 Drowning Prevention Month: Stay Calm, Stay Safe 💙

Key Water Safety Message #4: Cold Water Shock – What to do if you fall in

Falling into cold water can be a real shock to the body—even for strong swimmers ❄️
Knowing what to do can save your life.

✅ Ask your child:
What would you do if you suddenly fell into cold water?

💡 Remember: Float. Breathe. Relax.

🫁 Breathe

Fight the gasp reflex—take slow, steady breaths

Keep your airway above the water

🛟 Float

Lean back, spread your arms and legs

Let your body adjust to the cold water

😌 Relax

Stay as calm as possible

Once breathing is under control, signal for help or plan how to get out safely

🚫 Don’t panic or thrash about

This uses energy and makes it harder to breathe

Cold water can quickly drain your strength

👀 Talk to your child about why this matters:

Cold water can take your breath away in seconds

Staying calm helps you stay afloat and think clearly

💬 Start the conversation:
“Can you show me how you would float if you fell in?”

✅ Top tip:
Remember: Float to live – breathing first, then think what to do next.

Let’s give children the skills to stay calm and survive 💙

🌊 Drowning Prevention Month: Be Ready to Help Safely 💙

Key Water Safety Message #3: Know what to do if someone is in trouble in the water

It’s vital children and young people understand that helping doesn’t mean putting themselves in danger ⚠️

✅ Ask your child:
What would you do if you saw someone struggling in the water?

💡 The safest response:

🗣️ SHOUT for help

Get an adult or lifeguard straight away

Call emergency services (999) if needed

🛟 REACH or THROW – don’t go!

Use something long (a stick, towel, clothing) to reach them

Throw something that floats (lifebuoy, ball, bottle)

🚫 Never jump in to rescue them

Even strong swimmers can get into difficulty

Panicking people can accidentally pull rescuers under

👀 Talk to your child about why this is important:

Staying safe means they can actually help

Trained rescuers know how to act safely

Going in without help can make the situation worse

💬 Start the conversation:
“Can you think of something nearby you could use to help without getting in the water?”

✅ Top tip:
Remember: Shout, Reach, Throw – and never go!

Let’s build confidence AND safety skills that save lives 💙

🌊 Drowning Prevention Month: Stay Safe Together 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Key Water Safety Message #2: Always go with an adult when near water

Water can be unpredictable—having a responsible adult nearby makes all the difference 💙

✅ Ask your child:
Why is it safer to go near water with an adult?
Great answers might include:

Adults can spot danger quickly

They can help in an emergency

They set safe rules and boundaries

They know when it’s safe (or not safe) to get in

👀 Talking to teens…
We know independence grows, but so does risk.

⚠️ Peer pressure can be real around water
Encourage teens to think about:

Saying no to risky dares (like jumping into unknown water)

Sticking together AND making sure a trusted adult knows where they are

Looking out for friends—not encouraging unsafe behaviour

💬 Start the conversation:
“Would you feel confident speaking up if something didn’t feel safe?”

✅ Top tip:
No matter the age—children and teens should always let a responsible adult know where they are and avoid water activities alone.

Let’s empower young people to make smart, safe choices 💙
