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.
