On #WorldDrowningPreventionDay ‘Float to Live’ - to reduce the dangers of the cold shock response don’t panic, stay calm and float. This drowning prevention behaviour is a lifesaver when experiencing cold shock on immersion. @RLSSUK @RNLI @ProfMikeTipton
Water Looks Inviting – But It Can Take Your Life in Second This Drowning Prevention Week, please enjoy the sunshine – but don’t let a fun day turn into a tragedy. Every year in Scotland, around 50 people drown. Most of them didn’t plan to go in the water #Drowning #scotland
It’s #DrowningPreventionWeek and with the hot weather these facts are a reminder of the importance of #WaterSafety

"They're all myths. That's not true." 🙅♀️ Busting menstrual myths with Professor Kirsty Elliott-Sale, who says that there's no evidence to suggest that the phase of your cycle dictates how you should train, eat, or recover.
Very proud of our latest publication. A fabulous example of collaboration and perseverance making #Prehabilitation #Exercise and #Cancer closer to standard of care. #ExerciseIsMedicine @LJMUSportSci Full Paper: mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/c…
Tragic statistics. Every drowning is a tragedy that is amplified in its impact on family, friends and communities. #WaterSafety education is a critical part of population #health @RLSSUK
UK water-related fatality data for 2024 released today by The National Water Safety Forum. Very sad. The Forum will continue to work with its partners to reduce these tragic figures and the years of life lost they represent (6,100+ per annum). bbc.co.uk/news/articles/….
A number of papers have tackled this area, here’s one as a starter: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
@gpwhyte are there any studies that focus on adults experiences of learning to swim specifically related to overcoming fear and lack of being in control v learning specific techniques. Asking from a personal experience where a change of approach led to success 🏊♀️
Please be safe this weekend follow @RLSSUK for Safety Advice #EnjoyWaterSafely
