A swimmer in the Thames sparks a swift response from our lifesavers 💪 Our volunteers at Wandsworth RNLI were quickly on scene when a swimmer got into dificulty. The casualty was pulled onboard the lifeboat and was thankfully unharmed. The Thames can be just as dangerous as the sea. Strong currents, submerged debris and bitterly cold water can trigger cold-water shock within seconds, leaving even strong swimmers caught out and unable to stay afloat. 🎥 King’s Guard Tours [Visual description: Bystander footage filmed from the riverbank shows the Wandsworth RNLI inshore lifeboat on the River Thames rescuing a person in the water.

Remember Seren the Golden Retriever retrieved by Porthcawl RNLI and given all the cuddles in the world?   She is finally getting her moment on the final episode of this series of Saving Lives At Sea!   Catch her escapades tonight on @BBC Two and iPlayer 🐶   You loved Seren's rescue almost as much as we did, and to celebrate Seren's spotlight, we're showing some of the best comments we received 😆   (We can confirm Seren is not AI, sorry to the other goldens watching 👀)   [Visual description: A compilation of social media comments over a photo of a dog in a lifeboat. The comments humorously discuss the theme of retrieving a "retriever" and include references to AI and dog-related experiences. A speech bubble says, "That’s a ‘thank you for saving me face’ for sure.]   #RNLI #SavingLivesAtSea #DogRescue #LifeboatRescue #PorthcawlRNLI
