00:00 - It’s not always as warm in the water as it is on land. The water in rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water can be much colder than expected, so always check water temperatures before going in. If you do get into difficulties while in the water, remember #FloatToLive. 📹: RNLI

The weather's still warm🌞 But don't be fooled - our rivers are cold even in the summer. Swimming or jumping into cold water can cause cold water shock. Remember #FloatToLive. It could save your life. #RespectTheWater
