Water Safety Advice

STAY SAFE NEAR WATER

In this warm weather it can be tempting to swim in the lakes and rivers around London. At this time of year water is still very cold and there can be unseen dangers beneath the surface. 

The RNLI gives advice on staying safe which can be found at https://rnli.org/safety. 

Unfortunately emergency services have to deal with a number of tragic accidents every year where people lose their lives in our inland rivers and lakes – please keep your self and children safe by staying out of open water unless there are lifeguards in place
