00:00 So here today we're here to launch our float to live campaign. This is a vital skill that you should remember should you fall into the water unexpectedly.
00:08 So here you can see Dominic is floating a bit like a starfish but the idea is that anyone can float differently.
00:14 Anyone's legs might sink slightly, just lay back, tilt your head, ears submerged in the water and use your arms and legs to keep yourself afloat.
00:22 The important thing to remember is that you remain calm and breathe slowly and then you can call for help or swim to safety if possible.
00:29 So take a look at Dominic, he's using his arms and legs and he's remaining calm.
