Share what you see at England's rivers, lakes and beaches with our new BluePrint digital tool.
If you're out for a walk, paddle or swim your observations will help us build a clearer picture of how waterbodies are used and spot potential issues earlier.

Enjoying the warmer weather? ☀
Remember - jumping into open water can be fatal. Cold water shock kills and you don’t know what’s lurking beneath the surface.

With the temperature heating up, know your limits around water.
💧Warm weather does not mean warm water.
💧Open water stays dangerously cold.
💧Even confident swimmers can quickly lose strength and control.

If you get into difficulty in the water, remember #FloatToLive…
•Tilt your head back, ears submerged.
•Relax and try to breathe normally.
•Move your hands and legs to help you stay afloat.
•It's OK if your legs sink, we all float differently.
Practise floating at a supervised location like a swimming pool.

The Mersey Valley Way is open 🙌

Huge thanks to all 13 volunteers who came out after the busy bank holiday to help us keep Ainsdale beach clean and tidy!
