Float to Live This Summer | Nottingham News

Nottinghamshire Police’s Underwater Search Team is sounding the alarm this summer with a life-saving message: “Float to Live.” Developed by the RNLI, this technique teaches people to stay calm and float on their backs in open water—avoiding panic and cold shock that often lead to drowning. Even strong swimmers can be overwhelmed by sudden cold water, triggering gasping and inhalation. The team, led by Inspector Tim Ringer, has recovered dozens of victims—many of whom were otherwise capable swimmers. They’re urging everyone, especially young people, not to jump into rivers, canals, or lakes, no matter how warm it feels. PC Stephen Craner warns that the water is always cold and full of hidden dangers. This summer, their biggest fear? Another young life lost.
