The fire service have today provided water safety advice in Salford Quays, in a bid to inform members of the public about the dangers of cold water shock. It comes after the body of 16-year-old Kalen Waugh was tragically recovered from Salford Quays last month after reports that a person had gotten into difficulty in the water.
Police said he had been swimming with friends and a major search operation was launched on July 16, with Kalen's body recovered later that night. His death is not being treated as suspicious.
Today (August 10) people around Media City UK were invited to water safety advice training in which they were taught about the dangers of cold water shock, despite the heat.
