- Don’t dive or jump straight into open water – this can cause potentially fatal cold water shock even on the warmest day
- If you find yourself unexpectedly in the water, don’t panic – extend your arms and legs out and float on your back until the effects of cold water shock pass
- Never enter the water to try to rescue someone – call 999 and ask for the fire and rescue service if inland and the coastguard if you are on the coast

In days gone by, the town of Huntingdon sat in some amazing scenery. The original settlements were based around Ermine Street, which ran north-west through the town and formed the main thoroughfare.
Before the St Ives bridge was built in the 12th Century, Huntingdon probably had the lowest bridge on the Great River Ouse and the Danes, who were keen to exploit military and trading opportunities, were not slow to recognise this fact.
The borough was conquered in 1068 and a Norman castle was built.
