1 in 6 of UK adults went swimming alone last time they were in open water. What would you do if you got into difficulty but you were alone? We always advise you to STAY TOGETHER and go with others when on, in or near water. #DrowningPreventionWeek

An awesome result by #PDOz & #S326 last night. They found a 75-year-old man, with dementia who was reported missing. The pair searched for hours to find him. Oz got wind of him & found him having fallen down the West Wemyss coastal path. He's now with family😁
