Playing Safely by Water
Water is one of nature’s best play things and all children should be able to experience playing in, with and around water. However it is important to keep in mind the dangers of water and stay safe.
- Only play by or in water with an adult
- Check weather and tide times before you go; even on a calm day the current can be strong
- If you get into trouble, stick your hand in the air and shout for help
- Read any safety signs at the beach or river to make yourself aware of specific local hazards
- Never use inflatables in strong winds or rough seas
- If you see someone else in trouble, tell a lifeguard. If you can’t see a lifeguard, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard but don’t attempt a rescue yourself
- Find out about your chosen beach before you go at goodbeachguide.co.uk
- Remember rivers also have strong currents so take care and only play in calm, shallow sections
- Rocks and boulders by rivers are fun for playing but take care when they get slippery
