#WorldDrowningPreventionDay ⚠️ Today, July 25th is World Drowning Prevention Day. 🏊 ❗ Remember to never use inflatable toys at the beach. ▶️ Inflatables have no traction as they sit on the surface of the water, and can be swept out very quickly by wind and currents, often faster than someone can swim after them. Check out this video on the dangers of using inflatables in or around open water and at the beach. 💡 For further information on how to stay safe around open water, follow Cork Co Co Beachguards on Facebook and Instagram, or visit watersafety.ie/world-drownin… @WaterSafetyIE
