Today marks the start of Drowning Prevention Week, led by the Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK – our trusted water safety partner here at The Royal Parks.

If you’re visiting the parks, especially during the warmer weather, please remember to stay safe around water:

🛟 Always swim in a lifeguarded area – swimming is only allowed at The Serpentine Lido in Hyde Park
🛟 Never enter the water alone
🛟 Cold water shock can affect anyone, even when the weather’s warm – enter the water slowly
🛟 If you see someone in trouble, call 999 – don’t enter the water to rescue

Help us keep everyone safe by sticking to designated areas, respecting guidance around our lakes and water bodies and following the Water Safety Code.

The ponds in the park are full of life at this time of year - as shown by these smooth newts coming up for air 🦎

You’re likely to see these amphibians in ponds during spring and summer, as they go to the ponds to breed, spending the rest of the year in grassland and woodland and hibernating over winter.

Help Nature Thrive Engagement Officer, Loveday managed to spot these on a recent visit to the park 📱
