Hot weather alert - please don't swim or use inflatables in the water.
We know it looks tempting to take a dip in Grafham Water during this sunny spell - but please don't swim or use inflatables in the reservoir.
⚠️The water may look inviting, but it hides cold temperatures, strong currents and underwater hazards that can put lives at risk.
If you do accidentally find yourself in the water or in trouble, then remember to Float to Live.
Tilt your head back with your ears submerged, relax and try to control your breathing, move your hands and legs if needed, and remember that it’s OK if your legs sink. Once your breathing is under control, call for help or swim to safety.
