Please stay safe in and near water.
In hot weather it can be tempting to cool off in rivers, reservoirs, canals and waterways. That can be dangerous and water bodies should not be entered unsupervised.
The Splash events on 27 and 28 July allow everyone to enjoy trying out events on and in the water in controlled supervised conditions.
For more on safety in and near water please see the Canal and Rivers Trust advice on open water swimming and RNLI's Respect the Water advice.
