Always swim with an Adult
Ensure you are with a responsible adult when around water.
If you fall in, float, breathe and relax
Don't waste your energy by swimming, relax instead by turning onto your back like a starfish, calm and control your breathing. When your breathing feels easier look around for something to hold onto, safe place to climb out or shout for help.
