Phone Float Throw

If you saw someone in trouble in the water, would you know what to do?

Someone in trouble in the water?

If we see someone in trouble in the water, our instinct can often be to jump in to try and save them. But entering the water yourself in dangerous, and can put you at risk of drowning too.

Instead, if you see someone in trouble, remember Phone Float Throw:

Phone 999 straight away to get help

Tell the person to stay calm and float on their back.

Throw rescue equipment to help them float until the emergency services arrive
