Hey, remember during the 2018-19 school year when they gave out water bottles to students to promote drinking water?

When you fall into water below 15C, the body's automatic response is to gasp for air because of cold water shock. This increases your chance of inhaling water. Instead, you need to relax and #FloatToLive for around 90 seconds to minimise this risk. #30days30waysUK
We're issuing a precautionary seasonal recreational use health advisory for Lake Billy Chinook due to recurring cyanobacterial (harmful algal) blooms that routinely develop in the lake: bit.ly/2X6847W #SummerSafety #WaterSafety
Tests done at Lake Billy Chinook since 2015 show that blooms in the lake consistently produce cyanotoxins over our recreational use health guideline values for people and #pets. #SummerSafety #WaterSafety
As a result, OHA and local partners determined that a 2019 seasonal advisory for the lake is the best option. At this time, we're reminding the public of the steps to take to reduce exposure to the blooms and cyanotoxins that may be present throughout the season.
Welcome to day 14 #30days30waysUK. Being safe around water inc flooding prevents accidents and #drowning. Today we're joined by @RLSSUK and many others talking about how to #StaySafe and be better prepared

Did you know that in the UK around 400 people needlessly drown every year and thousands more suffer injury, some life changing, because of #neardrowning experiences? One person dies every 20 hours yet this could easily be prevented. Find out more rlss.org.uk/water-safety
