Bucks Fire and Rescue have asked people in and across the county to not enter or swim in rivers, lakes or reservoirs as the weather starts to get warmer.
In a Facebook post that was published on May 25, they said: “Please don’t be tempted to take a dip in lakes or other open water, whatever the weather.

“Even good swimmers can be caught out by hidden dangers such as fast currents, deep holes, soft mud, weeds or rubbish.
“Any stretch of water, still or flowing, has the capability to kill.”
The Facebook post published just three days after the second b’line in memory of Kyrece Francis had been found, after it had been removed from its original post.
