RNLI ‘Float to Live’ Campaign

Date published: May 22, 2024

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.
