Cold water swimming

7 Jul

This summer has been hot (in some places) and it is tempting to swim if you see a lovely river or lake - but jumping in to cold water can cause cold water shock. There are also all of the usual hazards of swimming to cope with such as underwater obstacles, currents and so on.

We are briefing all students and DofE participants not to swim or get in to any body of water. Don’t be tempted!
