The weather may be warm, but the water in and rivers won't be. It can be cold enough to cause cold water shock, which can incapacitate even the most capable swimmers. 🌊🚫

Further dangers include unpredictable depths, and submerged objects which may not be visible. Swimming or jumping in unsupervised waters is prohibited for your safety.

It may seem inviting, but entering the Bay water and rivers can have fatal consequences.

To learn more about the dangers, please watch this performance of Theatr na nÓg's Just Jump production: ➡ www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Lq4Yn-Emw&t=1020s

Efallai ei fod yn gynnes ond nid yw'r neu afonydd. Bydd y dŵr yn dal i fod yn ddigon oer i achosi sioc dŵr oer, a all analluogi rhywun hyd yn oed y nofwyr mwyaf galluog. 🌊🚫

Mae peryglon eraill yn cynnwys dyfnderoedd anrhagweladwy, a gwrthrychau tanddwr a all fod yn anweladwy. Felly, mae nofio neu neidio mewn dŵr heb oruchwyliaeth yn cael ei wahardd er eich diogelwch chi.

Efallai ei bod yn ymddangos yn atyniadol ond gall mynd i mewn i dŵr y Bae ac afonydd arwain at ganlyniadau angheuol.

I ddysgu mwy am y peryglon, gwyliwch y perfformiad hwn o gynhyrchiad Just Jump Theatr na nÓg's: ➡ www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeK3NYBD6Ag&t=146s

The water in the city’s rivers and Bay might look inviting when the sun is shining – but cold-water shock, hidden objects beneath the surface, and strong currents mean unsupervised swimming can be extremely dangerous.
Stay safe. Stay out.

Calling all parents, guardians and teachers of children in years 5 to 7 (aged 8+)!📢

Ydych chi’n ymweld â Bae Caerdydd y penwythnos hwn? Gall digwyddiadau o amgylch Cei'r Fôr-Forwyn wneud yr ardal yn brysurach na’r arfer.

No Mow May has begun in !🌱🐝

You’ll notice reduced mowing this month at the Wetlands Reserve and along the Barrage. This is part of No Mow May, which gives wild plants a chance to grow and provide food sources for pollinators.

It’s a small but effective step that supports the environmental standards behind our recognition.🏅🌟

Mae Dim Torri ym Mai wedi dechrau yn !🌱🐝

Byddwch yn sylwi ar lai o dorri gwair y mis hwn yng Ngwarchodfa’r Gwlyptiroedd ac ar hyd y Morglawdd. Mae hyn yn rhan o’r ymgyrch Dim Torri ym Mai, sy'n rhoi cyfle i blanhigion gwyllt dyfu a darparu ffynonellau bwyd i beillwyr.

Mae'n gam bach ond effeithiol sy'n cefnogi'r safonau amgylcheddol sy’n gyfrifol am ein cydnabyddiaeth .🏅🌟
