Air temp isn’t water temp. Stay safe.
Entering cold water makes you GASP.
Cold water increases your breathing and heart rate, causing PANIC.
Your muscles will get too cold, making you uncoordinated and WEAK.
RLSS UK’s advice is:
• Choose lifeguarded spots
• Never swim alone
• Wear bright colours
• Enter the water slowly
• Get out before you get cold
If you get into trouble, Find Your Float.
It may feel warm outside, but the water isn’t.
