Today is @WHO World #DrowningPrevention Day. Why do we mark this day? It's not only about showing respect for all the families that have lost someone to drowning, it's also about raising awareness of the scale of the problem. Anyone can Drown, No one Should – at Byker, England
Brilliant work from Merlin and the team!
#WorldDrowningPreventionDay
Even Merlin our Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) dog is pledging to support World Drowning Prevention Day.
Please follow Merlin's lead and make your pledge today. 🐶🌊
It could help to save your life or the life of a loved one.

We were delighted to be invited to take part in this event organised by @Tyne_Wear_FRS to mark #WorldDrowningPreventionDay
Did you know mimicking a starfish can help you stay afloat in the water during times of distress? 🌊
To mark #WorldDrowningPreventionDay, TWFRS along with its regional partners, have come together to join hands to form a unified floating circle.

Huge well done to everyone who took part in the North Tyneside Council Stride out to the Lighthouse on Saturday & thank you to everyone who donated or purchased @TynemouthVLB merchandise at the end of the walk.

🌞 Stay Safe Around Water as Temperatures Rise! 🌞
✅ Always swim with a friend at a lifeguarded venue.
✅ Stay within designated swimming areas.
✅ Check the water temperature before you swim.
✅ Wear a wetsuit if the water is chilly.

It's lovely to spend time AROUND water... but with data showing that in 2023, 50% accidental drowning fatalities never intended to enter the water, it's important to know how to say safe 🏖️
On the final day of #DPW, please RT🙏

Year 1 had a visit from @TynemouthVLB this week and we are now experts at being safe around water! 🌊
The final day of #DrowningPreventionWeek school visits consisted of a visit to Riverside Primary School in the morning followed by a spot at the STEM Fair at @Newyorkprimary in the afternoon. Lots more children educated to #EnjoyWaterSafely

Thank you @TynemouthVLB for an informative assembly on how to stay safe at the beach. Let’s follow the water safety code. Stop and think. Stay together. In an emergency call 999. Float!
