From popular pools to busy beaches, Lancashire has an abundance of places you can go swimming.
With the weather getting warmer, a dip in the water will be playing on people’s minds either as some physical exercise or a social activity.
If you are going to swim in the sea, do stay safe, swimming only when its light outside and don’t swim too far.
We asked readers of the Lancashire Post where their favourite places to swim were and the response was overwhelming.
So here are 21 of the best places to swim in Lancashire including pools in Preston and Blackpool:
