# UK weather: How can you swim safely in open waters?

![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BBC-Data-Unit/open-water-deaths/master/drowningsinfographic.png)

In July 2019 as the UK experienced a heatwave, the data unit used National Water Safety Forum data on accidental drownings in 2018 to provide context to [a piece about swimming in open waters](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-49095925).
