Do you know the steps?. - Tilt your head back with ears submerged.- Relax and try to breathe normally.- Move your hands and legs to help you stay afloat.- It's ok if your legs sink, we all float differently.- Once you're over the initial shock, call for help or swim to safety.

#FloatToLive has saved the lives of over 50 people! And they're just the ones we know about 🤯 . Dexter, Theo, Billie, Tina and Brian all floated when they got into difficulty in the water, and their stories are powerful reminders that this simple skill can save lives. 👇

The facts behind our work in the Channel. In 2024, our crews launched 114 times to Channel crossings – that's just 1.2% of our total launches. Our core purpose is to save lives at sea. Anyone can drown, but no one should.

I’m a PlayStation trophy hunter just like you 🏆. That’s why I built PlatSeekers, my first ever app, made solo to improve the way we track trophies, stats & progress. I truly hope you all enjoy it!

Congratulations to @ChiswickRNLI volunteer Mark, who received an OCU Commander’s Commendation from the @metpoliceuk for his incredible bravery 👏. While off duty, Mark rushed to help a person found face down in the water and saved their life without hesitation. #RNLI #Volunteer
