RNLI ‘Float to Live’ Campaign
Date published: May 27, 2026
Do you know what to do if you get into trouble in the water this summer?
Float to Live:
- Tilt your head back and submerge your ears.
- Relax and try to control your breathing.
- Move your hands to help you stay afloat.
- It’s OK if your legs sink, everyone floats differently.
- Once you are over the initial shock, call for help or swim to safety.
In a coastal emergency, dial 999 or 112 for the coastguard.
