Offshore winds can quickly blow you far away from the shore and safety, making them especially dangerous when doing water sports. Avoid the water when the wind is blowing from the land out to sea. In a coastal emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. #CoastClever

The water might look perfect for a swim, especially on a hot day, but it can still be really cold. Jumping in suddenly can cause cold water shock - a serious risk even for strong swimmers. Stay safe and know the risks - https://t.co/CxKXWE7ZS4

If you're out in the sun this weekend, make sure your kids are safe if they’re playing in or around a river. 78% of 13-17-year-olds that drown accidentally on inland waters are unsupervised (RLSS, 2022). #CallTellThrow

Headed to the water this weekend? Stay safe by choosing a lifeguarded beach or outdoor pool. Visiting a location without lifeguards? Assess the dangers before you enter the water, and always stay with others. More advice from @RLSSUK 👇 https://t.co/mEGf5jSRF7

We're currently experiencing a high volume of people coming into the city centre to watch today's #LFC Victory Parade. As such a number of roads inc Brunswick St, Water St and James St are closed. People are advised to use Blundell St to access The Strand to avoid overcrowding.

The team out conducting a wade search today - where conditions allow, it is often a quicker and more practical method for us to clear an area for larger items rather than just one diver at a time. #policedivers #diver #police #joblikenoother

Swimming is for everyone. No matter your age, background, ability, or learning style — everyone deserves the chance to feel safe and confident in and around water. From visual aids to signing and sensory-friendly sessions, inclusive teaching helps every child take their first

Jumping into open water can be fatal. Cold water shock and under-water currents can kill, and you don’t know what’s lurking beneath the surface. Don’t become a statistic, stay safe around water. #WaterSafety #DrowningPrevention #BeWaterAware
