VIDEO: Hard-hitting video warns against swimming in reservoirs
A film that exposes the life-threatening risks of swimming in reservoirs has been made to help highlight that they can be just as dangerous as rivers to swim in.
With the weather gradually getting warmer, people around Kirklees may be tempted to go for a quick dip at this time of the year.
However, Yorkshire Water have released the video warning against such action.
