As restrictions on movement caused by the pandemic are eased, the public is being warned to keep safe around rivers and canals.

Top tips for river safety 

Don’t jump or dive in as the depth may vary and there can be unseen hazards.

Don’t go in near weirs, locks, pipes and sluices. These and some other water features are often linked with strong currents.

Inland waters can be very cold, no matter how warm the weather. Those going into cold water can get cramp and experience breathing difficulties very quickly.

Keep a look out for boat traffic. Boaters, especially on larger vessels, can find it very hard to spot swimmers. Parents and guardians can help keep children in their care safe by:

teaching them to swim

warning them not to go into water alone, or unsupervised

ensuring they know where the children are and what they are doing

supervising them closely when near any open water

ensure that young people are not drinking alcohol before entering the water Drowning can occur very quickly, even in shallow water, and the key to keeping safe is to take all necessary precautions to avoid getting into difficulty in the first place.
