Drowning fears and good weather prompt reservoir swimming warning from ESB

A warning has been issued over the dangers of swimming at ESB reservoirs in Donegal ahead of the bank holiday weekend.

The ESB has issued a warning of the dangers of swimming at the Lough Nacung and Lough Dunlewey reservoirs in west Donegal.

With the improving spell of warm weather over the summer months, the ESB is reminding the general public of the dangers and potentially serious consequences of swimming in any ESB reservoir.

“These areas are not appropriate for swimming because of the risk of deep and fast-flowing waters, changing water levels and uneven ground,” a spokesman said.
