Professor Mike Tipton, Human and Applied Physiology Expert, talks you through the science behind our float safety messaging.

Find out why people are wearing a variety of clothing, why we say to tilt your head back, what role cold water shock plays and why it doesn't matter how you float - just that you do.

Professor Tipton was one of the originators of cold water shock and float safety messaging and science.

Do you know what to do if you get into trouble in the water? Float to Live.

Tilt your head back with ears submerged
Relax and try to control your breathing
Move your hands to help you stay afloat
Once you are over the initial shock, call for help or swim to safety
In an emergency call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.
