On World #DrowningPrevention Day, we’re supporting the new @NWSFweb #RespectTheWater campaign.
If you see someone struggling in the water, fight your instincts to get in. Call 999 & ask for the Coastguard at the coast, or Fire Service inland 📱
Great to be out & about again today, delivering key #SafetyMessages to local school children as part of the @barbhovercraft commitment to helping educate the next generation on #BeachSafety, #DrowningPrevention & to call 999 for @HMCoastguard
