It's important to stay safe while enjoying yourselves over the next few days
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has shared advice for parents and guardians to keep themselves and their little ones safe near open water as the bank holiday weekend fast approaches.
From Milngavie reservoir to the pond at Queen's Park, families will be flocking to the many scenic locations Glasgow has to offer for a quick break away from home - but open water poses a risk for children as well as adults. If you've had an alcoholic drink, it's important to stay away from the water because alcohol and water do not mix, the fire service said.
"Open water can become very cold just a few feet under the surface and can cause cramps or cold water shock. Very cold temperatures can also affect your stamina and you may find your strength and ability to swim deteriorates rapidly."Open water can also look very calm on the surface, but strong undercurrents or unseen objects which could trap or injure you can lie beneath.
