It’s every parent’s worst nightmare, a phone call to say their child is missing in water.

The last month or so has brought this into sharp focus, with many tragic incidents around the country involving young people entering open water and not resurfacing. In April 2025, 16-year-old Jack Lloyd sadly did just that.

Today, as part of we launch a new short film – Cold Water Shock – When Fun Turns Fatal, telling Jack’s tragic story with a heartbreaking account from his father Darren explaining the impact of the incident on him and his family. Fire and police officers also talk about the impact of these incidents, as well as giving advice about what to do to stay safe around open water.

The film was launched at a special screening event at the ODEON Luxe Peterborough

You can view the film on the Service's YouTube channel: https://orlo.uk/g4Yfs
