Practical safety advice, trusted guidance and lifesaving knowledge—all in one place.
Water Safety Advice & Official Guidance
Finding accurate safety information online can be difficult. We've created this page to bring together trusted guidance from recognised UK organisations, helping families, schools, businesses and community groups quickly access reliable water safety, first aid and emergency resources.
Whether you're looking to stay safe, educate others or prepare for an emergency, these links provide expert advice from organisations dedicated to saving lives.
In any water emergency, call 999 immediately. Ask for the Coastguard if you're at the coast, or the appropriate emergency service if you're at an inland water location.

Why We've Created This Page
At Elite Lifesaving Skills, we believe that no single organisation can prevent drowning or improve public safety alone. By bringing together trusted guidance from the UK's leading emergency services, charities and government organisations, we hope to make reliable safety information easier to find, easier to understand and easier to share.
Whether you're a parent, teacher, employer, lifeguard or simply planning a day by the water, we encourage you to explore these resources and help spread lifesaving knowledge within your community.
