RESIDENTS are being warned about the dangers of reservoir swimming as temperatures soar ahead of the school holidays. United Utilities, which owns reservoirs across dozens of beauty spots in the region, has released an urgent safety message highlighting the possibility of drowning as a result of trips to reservoirs. Mark Seymour, the company s catchment manager for Manchester, said: “Open water swimmers have been noticed at a few of our reservoirs recently. They turn up in wet suits, and ignore the fact that swimming is prohibited. “Not only should they know better than to ignore the warning signs but they’re also setting a dangerous example because young people might see them and get the wrong impression that it’s safe.
