The facts behind our work in the Channel. In 2024, our crews launched 114 times to Channel crossings โ€“ that's just 1.2% of our total launches. Our core purpose is to save lives at sea. Anyone can drown, but no one should.

In difficulty in the water? Remember these tips and float to live. Your legs may sink and that's okay! Everybody floats differently. Practise at a safe location like a swimming pool to learn how you float best. In a coastal emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

Should we still be encouraging people to raise their hand to signal for help when drowning if we know this can compromise their airway? An interesting video which neatly shows the challenge #FloatToLive

A very visual demonstrations as to why weirs can be so dangerous #RespectTheWater

Even with a life jacket on, it is difficult to escape from the pool at the bottom of the waterfall, which has a drop of just one meter. This shows how dangerous the river can be. So what should be done in such a situation?

One of the funniest things I've ever seen. Joe Wilkinson explains the RNLI and nobody is allowed to laugh. Best 2 mins of TV in a long while.

"Anyone can drown. No one should." Drowning is a tragic, neglected, and preventable public health issue causing 300,000 deaths globally each year. "Inaction is unacceptable", say Editors in @TheLancetPH's latest Editorial: hubs.li/Q0336VSL0
