Episode Details

Bridget Phillipson is warning the public about a deadly summer trend: preventable drownings in open water. As temperatures rise and young people flock to lakes, rivers, and the sea, hidden dangers like strong currents, cold water, and underwater hazards are putting lives at risk. Officials, including the RNLI and emergency services, urge everyone to stick to lifeguarded zones and never jump in to help — instead, throw something buoyant and call for professional aid. Recent tragedies, like the incident involving six teens at a reservoir, underscore the urgency: stay safe, float on your back if you’re in trouble, and always call for help if you see someone struggling.
