Safety at Inland Waterways

In Ireland we have lots of different inland waterways, which can be dangerous if you are not careful.

Beware of submerged objects. Always enter the water feet first.
Cold water in lakes can be dangerous. It is often much colder beneath the surface than you think.
Do not play near the waters edge - it can suddenly crumble away.
Never wade in to retrieve floating objects.
Never walk on ice covered walkways!
When fishing, always make sure an adult is with you.
