Water Safety
Room 7 students were very lucky to attend a water safety session with Cecily. Important points covered included that if someone is in the trouble in the water, get help immediately and consider your personal safety first. See if you can throw something to the person in trouble to help them float such as an empty bottle or a ball. Also if you find yourself stuck in a rip, then lie on your back, skull and let the rip take you out to the last breaking wave. Surf the waves back in. Try and put your hand straight up for help - you will need to skull horizontally while doing this. If you find yourself caught in a current in a river, then go with the current, on your back, and feet first until you are able to get yourself over to the side of the river bed. Finally if you are going in a boat, always wear a life jacket that fits you properly.
