A warning has been issued after several water related tragedies in just one week.
Last week there were two major incidents which saw children from the age of 12 lose their lives after they entered the UK's waters. A 15-year-old Erin Madden died at Carr Mill Dam, in St Helens, on Thursday, June 1 after she had been swimming with her friends in the water.
It was reported she got into difficulty and her friends called for help at around 12.30pm. Tragically Erin's body was later recovered from the water.
