"It's like electricity for me" - Cold water dips with Louise Minchin

Louise Minchin has teamed up with the RNLI to give us her top tips for cold water swimming. The former BBC Breakfast presenter is a keen open water swimmer and often goes for a dip at the coast. But, even though she’s a confident swimmer, Louise knows that anyone can get into trouble in the water. Sea temperatures around the UK and Ireland will average just 6 to 10 degrees around March. Cold water shock is a real danger for anyone entering water that is 15 degrees or below. Follow our top tips to ensure you have an enjoyable and safe time cold water dipping: 1. Wear a brightly coloured swim cap and consider using a tow float. 2. Never swim alone, always go with a friend if possible. Tell someone when you plan to be back. 3. Acclimatise slowly, never jump straight in, as this can lead to cold water shock. 4. If you get into trouble, Float To Live. Lean back in the water and extend your arms and legs. If you’re in any doubt, stay out of the water, and always take a means of calling for help with you. If you or anyone else gets into trouble at the coast, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.

Whether you're stuck on a sinking ship, cut off by a rapidly rising tide, or in the water and close to drowning, RNLI crew members will drop everything to come to your rescue. The vast majority of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers. But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 242 beaches, keeping people safe, providing safety advice and rescuing those in trouble. Education volunteers visit schools and swimming clubs to help teach the next generation how to enjoy the water safely. And volunteer fundraisers and shop workers give up their time to generate vital funds. The RNLI is also working to help communities around the world that are most at risk of drowning. If you spot someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard. - - The Royal National Lifeboat Institution, a charity registered in England and Wales (209603), Scotland (SC037736), the Republic of Ireland (CHY 2678 and 20003326), the Bailiwick of Jersey (14), the Isle of Man (1308 and 006329F), the Bailiwick of Guernsey and Alderney, of West Quay Road, Poole, Dorset, BH15 1HZ.
