It may be hot but the water's not.
Cold water shock, hidden hazards, strong currents and sudden changes in depth can quickly turn a day out into an emergency.

Dexter, Theo, Billie, Tina and Brian all floated when they got into difficulty in the water, and their stories are powerful reminders that this simple skill can save lives.
