The Royal Life Saving Society UK recently said it believes the temperatures will have the potential to attract people to take a dip in rivers or quarries.

The Royal Life Saving Society UK advise the public to remember to always find a lifeguarded swimming site and to remember that the water at open and inland sites is often much colder than it looks.

The charity also advises to always swim parallel to the shore so that you’re never too far away from it, to be mindful of strong currents in the water and to always bring a friend.

In an emergency call 999 and ask for the Fire and Rescue service when inland and the Coastguard if at the coast.

For further water safety information visit the RLSS UK website at www.rlss.org.uk.

It is not clear whereabouts on the River Severn the video was filmed.
