Police have issued a warning on open water swimming on what could be Greater Manchester's hottest day of the year so far.
Temperatures are set to soar to 24C in some parts of our region today with wall-to-wall sunshine expected all day. Amid the hot weather, beauty spots, parks and reservoirs across all of our boroughs are expected to get extremely busy with sunseekers.
In a post on social media this morning, Greater Manchester Police warned people not to jump into open water just because it is warm. Officers also gave advice on what to do if anyone came into difficulty.

"Jumping into open water can be fatal", officers warned. "Cold water shock kills and you don’t know what’s lurking beneath the surface."
"Jumping into open water can be fatal. Cold water shock kills and you don’t know what’s lurking beneath the surface. If you get into difficulty in the water, float to live: tilt your head back with ears submerged, relax and try to control your breathing, move your hands to help you stay afloat, once you are over the initial shock, call for help or swim to safety."
Last summer, police issued a number of dispersal orders around reservoirs to stop people from swimming in the open water. The Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service also warned of the dangers, stating 'it's not worth dying for a dip'.
