Richmond Council, in partnership with the Teddington RNLI Lifeboat Station and London Fire Brigade Richmond, has release a new film to raise awareness around water safety for young people.

Riverside hotspots throughout Richmond upon Thames, including Teddington Lock, are popular with young people from across southwest London looking to cool off during warm weather. In 2022, 14-year-old Brian Sasu lost his life jumping into the River Thames from a bridge at Tagg’s Island, Hampton.

Cold water shock is one of the biggest risks of swimming in the River Thames, even in summer. The human body can go into shock in anything under 15oC. If this happens, you lose control of your breathing and movement, and it can also cause your heart rate and blood pressure to quickly increase, which can lead to cardiac arrest.
