The Met Office has confirmed that Saturday was the hottest day of the year so far with highs of 24.3°C in Bramham, West Yorkshire ☀️ Not bad for a bank holiday weekend 🍦
Hazards include strong currents, water quality, uneven riverbanks, and tomb-stoning without knowing how deep the water is or whether there are any objects hidden underwater.A spokesman for Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said: ‘The idea of swimming in a river or lake will be appealing to many people during this current spell of warm weather.
‘Around 85% of accidental drownings occur at open water sites, and many of these drownings occur due to a lack of knowledge and understanding of the hazards posed by open water. ‘Whilst the benefits of open water swimming are well documented, we feel it’s important to remind potential swimmers of the hazards posed by swimming in open water.’
