We all hope for good weather when the school holidays arrive but unfortunately every year tragedy strikes when people are tempted to swim where it is not safe.

A particular temptation seems to be old flooded quarries and sadly, in Wales, a fourteen year old boy lost his life while swimming in a disused quarry. This is a stark reminder of what can happen and has happened in recent years in Scotland.

So please, be safe, swim in safe swimming pools or from safe beaches!
