Important post from a great thread on being caught out by rising tides at the seaside by @dreadships.bsky.social So, with seasonal holidays and outdoor activities increasing please be aware of the danger of drowning when near water, inland or coastal. #FloatToLive #StaySafe #RNLI
And if you do find yourself unexpectedly in water, Float to Live!
Not a bad idea to chat to your kids about this one, btw, and to suggest they pass it on to mates - you never know who you might end up helping.
