Following these 5 basic #FloatToLive steps could save your life if you get into trouble in the water:
1. Fight your instinct to swim hard or thrash about
2. Lean back, extend your arms and legs
3. If you need to, gently move your arms and legs to help you float
4. Float until you can control your breathing
5. Call for help or swim to safety
If you see someone else in trouble in the water, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
