#FloatToLive:
- Tilt your head back with ears submerged
- Relax - try to control your breathing
- Move your hands to help stay afloat
- Once over the initial shock, call for help or swim to safety
- Call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard
Remember it. Share it.

It's hot out there, but water temperatures remain dangerously cold.
If youโre heading to the coast, remember to #FloatToLive if you get into trouble in the water. In an emergency, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.

More claims being made for cold water immersion on local radio. Note, the definitive science hasn't been done, the evidence is anecdotal and it is potentially dangerous. By all means do it, but understand the risks & benefits & proceed with caution. bjsm.bmj.com/content/56/23/1โฆ

On the night of the 13th of March 2017, four Irish Coast Guard Search and Rescue helicopter crew #Rescue116 set out on a mission and they never came home. Take a moment to remember their courage and service and to remember their families and IRCG family. #GoneNeverForgotten
