Three water safety agencies issue joint appeal, saying rivers and seas are still too cold for extended swims with strong rip current hazard

“Swim within your depth at the lifeguarded waterways. A full moon also creates lower low tides that will expose even greater areas of the coastline which often tempts walkers to explore sandbanks,” Mr Sweeney added.

In their joint appeal, the agencies advised that the public should always check the weather forecast, tide times and sea conditions before setting off, get regular updates if planning to be out for any length of time and be prepared to change plans or cancel a trip if the forecast is unfavourable. “We again are warning about the dangers of using inflatable toys such as LiLos on or near the water, be it seaside, lake or river. Please do not bring such items,” he said.
