Been growing a mullet & moustache for @MovemberUK Many people have noticed a likeness to @BeefyBotham What do you think? (Beefy is the one on the left!) I'm raising awareness for all the dads, brothers, sons and mates in our lives. Please donate & share movember.com/m/482889?mc=6

Amazing film explaining some of @ProfMikeTipton & @portsmouthuni science behind the #floattolive message and how it as applied to save lives. There is a short version, but if you have the time, its worth spending the full 9 minutes watching this. vimeo.com/646344970

Swimming is a life skill. Access to swimming pools is crucial to fight the drowning problem. 5 pools in Cornwall are under threat of closure & only 10 councillors get the opportunity to vote. Please sign this petition to at least get this to full council. chng.it/JP6bMynNxr

Swimmer in Cornwall had "done all she could" to aid her own rescue - a pink float and a pink hat helped her to be found quickly. Full story ⬇️ hmcoastguard.blogspot.com/20… 🎥🔇 @MCA_media #999Coastguard

Hey Pigsy! Used to hate this programme as a child but had to watch it every week as my big brother @jamesinstance made me! youtube.com/watch?v=J-SUoHmp…
nsri.org.za/2020/11/ongoing-… My thoughts go out to the family and colleagues of a missing South African lifeguard.

Ongoing search for a missing lifeguard

There is lots happening with this. The film is just a start. We are working with governing bodies for swimming and also with some of the other wild swimming groups. The majority of swimmers are really good, but we are keen to make sure everyone knows how they can be safe.

We need a national "wild / cold water swimming' sea safety campaign asap before we lose someone. Seeing too many close calls. Anyone up for it? @RNLI @MCA_media @surflifesaving @CoastSafe_DandC @Sinstance @Drustanward
