Drowning Prevention Week: Float to Live
Float to Live
Float to Live is useful to everyone, however you use the water. It has helped save the lives of more than 50 people in all sorts of situations. From children in rip currents to runners falling into canals, from people swept out by waves, to fisherman falling overboard.
The key messages of Float to Live are:
-
Tilt your head back, ears submerged
-
Relax and control your breathing
-
Move hands and feet to stay afloat
If you fall in, Float to Live
Remember:
➡ Your legs may sink – that’s ok as everyone floats differently
➡ Find your float by practising at a supervised location
