Anyone who finds themselves in danger in the water should fight the panic instinct and float to live – try to relax and float on their back, with head tilted back, gently moving their hands and legs to help them stay afloat.“This buys valuable time to get your breathing back under control, before then calling for help or swimming to safety.”Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌EmergencyBreaking News
