The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland are ready to launch to help those in need. 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. 95% of RNLI lifeboat crews and station staff are volunteers.
But it’s not just lifeboats. RNLI lifeguards patrol 248 beaches across the UK and Channel Islands, 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.

This was perfect timing, I’m about to start cold water swimming for the health benefits. Thanks
We're so pleased to hear that, John. Stay safe!
Great video boys..lots of v important info contained within the footage 👍..
Good video and advice
Thanks John
Wonderful video, thanks guys - and huge thanks as always to the RNLI for everything you.
Thank you 😊
Brilliant thank you!
Thanks guys, great tips! Safe and happy swimming :)
Thanks Elizabeth!
Good video very good I cold dip in a pool filled with underground water very cold. So cold you can knock your legs or hands blue only to realise afterwards the sea numbs you another danger ..
Great information and we'll presented
Thanks Liam, glad you found it useful 😊
I agree with @JohnSmith.
Perfect timing for me as well. I’m gearing up to jump out of the pool and into the lake. Not literally of course. 😃
I used to many moons ago at the lake I used to waterski at and want to regain that feeling.
Thank you for posting. Some great tips. 🙏👍👍
We are glad we could help!
Love it, just started swimming in the sea and found this so helpful. Think you might have both been RAF squadron leaders in a former life though. Also sad that you both didn't have coffee!
Thank you, that's great to hear. They might regret filming it in November with those taches! Liam certainly regretted not bringing his flask of coffee.
Great content thanks and Happy Thanksgiving, from Bakersfield California USA
Thanks Katherine. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
If I didn't 'go alone' I'd never go!
I'm going to start swimming in the sea because I don't know when swimming club will start because of covid
Have fun and stay safe Sophia
Sad at the end one of the guys had no coffee :(
Think Liam regretted not bringing his flask!
Grrat video by the way
👏👏👏🤘😘
Fab video but as a point I don't think it is fair to ask your doctor about whether it is safe for you to cold water swim. The research just isn't out there. Think about your medical conditions, what you can do & what you find difficult & make an informed decision on your own health, you know yourself better than anyone 😊
depends on what the medical risk factor in question is. For some risk factors the research might be limited, but for others there's either plenty of research or it's the sort of thing a doctor knows even without research. There might be medical conditions where it's obvious to a doctor, even without a study, that cold water swimming with the condition would be risky.
I think about wearing a wetsuit but I’m scared that I can’t get it off quick enough to warm up :(
With so much choice out there, it's difficult to know where to start, Nadia. We have some tips on our website to help choose the right one for you rnli.social/3BUnvk8
@@rnli thank you
I would say ALWAYS wear some kind of wetsuit in UK waters.
