46% of accidental drownings of those aged between 18-25 involve alcohol and/or drugs in the last 6 years. Follow @RLSSUK’s #DontDrinkandDrown campaign to learn more about how you can stay safe.

When temperatures rise above 25°C, the risk of accidental drowning increases by five times!
UK waters remain cold, even on hot days, and can cause cold water shock. Acclimatise carefully and if you're struggling, remember #FloatToLive.
Sharing this could save a life 💙

2013, South Coast of India I saved a young man from drowning on this beach - the strength of the waves overwhelmed him & he couldn’t swim 🌊 I share this story, not for praise, to show how unpredictable the water is you wouldn’t know from this picture. #DrowningPrevention #WDPD

On 31 May 2023, two beach-goers didn't make it home to their families. Their names were Joe and Sunnah. They were just 17 and 12 years old. This is their story, told by their loving mums. Please share this video.
