Swimmers are being urged only go to waterways where there is a lifeguard.
Irish Water Safety is urging people not to use inflatable toys along the coast line or on water courses.
A spell of warm weather from the Azores will hit Ireland this week meaning thousands of people will flock beaches, lakes and rivers.
When going for a swim in open water, never swim alone and get local knowledge from swimmers in the area.#BetterSafeThanSorry
