Water Safety
When we are having fun it can be so easy to forget about keeping safe. You can be at risk at any time and not just during the holidays
On warm days, the water can look very inviting
S T O P
Don't take the risk
-
keep away from rivers or ponds because:
.1. The river might look as if it is running slowly but there could be a strong current below the surface making it very difficult for you to keep safe and dragging you under the surface
2. The river or pond might look shallow but the depth can change from shallow to very deep in a single step. Out of your depth, you could be in great danger
3. There might be rubbish or tree roots hidden from view that could trap you putting you in great danger.
