THE Royal National Lifeboat Institution have launched a new water safety campaign ahead of what the charity believes will be a busy summer for Scottish beaches.
As the summer holidays approach, the RNLI have teamed up with HM Coastguard on a new campaign entitled “Float to Live”, encouraging anyone experiencing difficulties in the water to do the following: lean back, using your arms and legs to stay afloat; control your breathing, and then call for help or swim to safety; and in a coastal emergency, call 999 or 112 for the Coastguard.
