A warning over water safety and getting into trouble while swimming in open waters and coastal areas is being issued today, by the National Water Safety Forum. Nick Dixon explains what the National Water Safety Forum is asking people to be mindful of.

@NickDixonITV Bring back swimming lessons in schools. Oh yeah. You sold off the local swimming pools.

@NickDixonITV Small island that we are, yet children are given 6x 50 minute lessons through their whole primary schooling, (some schools may be more) I’d much rather a life skill like this be taught than teaching them religion and woke nonsense! Learn the kids to swim!!

@NickDixonITV It's only half past six and Madeley has become insufferable. See you tomorrow, have turned over !!!!

@NickDixonITV They are worried about people getting in the water because its cold.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@NickDixonITV “Use your arm and legs like a big starfish” I annoy my children so much with this saying but they know what to do it they get into trouble in water. @RNLI #FloatToLive

@NickDixonITV I wouldn't dare to swim in our water.. It's full of 💩

@NickDixonITV And mind the turds

@NickDixonITV The thing is people think its only water & I can swim it won't happen to me - but water KILLS.
