Cold water shock causes an involuntary gasp and loss of breathing control within seconds - even for strong swimmers.

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.
