4 5. Key messages General message Keep your family safe around water by making sure they know the Water Safety Code: Whenever you are around the water: Stop and think look for the dangers, always read the signs Stay together never swim alone. Always go with friends or family In an emergency: Call 999 or 112 and shout for help Float if you fall in, float or swim on your back. Throw something in that floats to anyone that falls in. Summer safety messages At home Always use self-closing gates, fences and locks to prevent children from gaining access to pools of water Securely cover all water storage tanks and drains Empty paddling pools and buckets as soon as they have been used. Always turn paddling pools upside down once empty Always supervise bath time (never leave children unattended). Empty the bath as soon as possible after use On holiday When researching your holiday, or arriving at your destination, check the safety arrangements of any water-based activities and if there is lifeguard cover at the pool or beach Check bathing sites for hazards, check the safest places to swim and always read the signs find out what local warning signs and flags mean. Take time to check the depth, water flow and layout of pools Swim with any children in your care it s more fun and you can keep them close and safe On beaches check when the tide will be high and low and make sure that you won t be cut off from the beach exit by the rising tide. Also, be aware of dangerous rip-currents Inflatables like dinghies or lilos are a well-known hazard each year there are drownings as people on inflatables are blown out to sea. Do not use them in open water Do not swim near to or dive from rocks, piers, breakwater or coral Swim parallel to the beach and close to the shore page 3
