0:01:18 > 0:01:22With the sunshine expected to come back across the country this week,

0:01:22 > 0:01:25the Canal and River Trust is asking people not to cool off by jumping

0:01:25 > 0:01:27into canals and rivers.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30They say things can get pretty dangerous really quickly.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Leah has more.

0:01:33 > 0:01:39The hidden dangers lurking under the surface.

0:01:41 > 0:01:45But it's not just the rubbish down there that's the only problem.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48The water is really cold, so when you jump in you might get

0:01:48 > 0:01:50something like shock, which means you might die...

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Sam works for the Canal and River Trust, which manages

0:01:53 > 0:01:562000 miles of canals, rivers, reservoirs and docks

0:01:56 > 0:02:00across England and Wales.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04They want children to be aware of the unseen dangers in the water.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07I know it looks really warm, and it's really warm today,

0:02:07 > 0:02:09but it is really cold and you might catch your breath,

0:02:09 > 0:02:12and that might cause you to drink in some of that water.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14And the water isn't too clean.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17You might get a tummy bug from drinking some of it or having

0:02:17 > 0:02:20it around your body, and you wouldn't want that,

0:02:20 > 0:02:24especially not in the summer holidays when it's so nice outside.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Despite knowing the dangers, on a hot day like this

0:02:26 > 0:02:28there still are some people who take the risk

0:02:28 > 0:02:32for a quick swim in the canal.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35There are, really, loads of ways that you can enjoy the canals.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38You can go for a walk along the towpath, you can go swimming

0:02:38 > 0:02:43in your local swimming pool or even in a lido,

0:02:43 > 0:02:45which is outdoors, and you can join an outdoor swimming club

0:02:45 > 0:02:47if you want to go swimming outdoors as well.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Even though it's really hot, try and stay away

0:02:50 > 0:02:51from the edge of the canal.

0:02:51 > 0:02:52Don't get in the canal.

0:02:52 > 0:02:59Find another way to cool off and have fun in a safe way.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03Hundreds of people get into trouble in canals every year across the UK,

0:03:03 > 0:03:07but the hope is lots of you will now be put off from taking a dip

0:03:07 > 0:03:16and find other ways to enjoy the waterways safely this summer.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19A massive oil rig which has been stranded on a beach on the west

0:03:19 > 0:03:21coast of Scotland for two weeks has been successfully

0:03:21 > 0:03:22re-floated and towed away.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25But how did it end up there in the first place?

0:03:25 > 0:03:26Naz has more.

0:03:26 > 0:03:31It's one of the more unusual things to be found washed up on a beach.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33But this huge oil rig, which is used to drill

0:03:33 > 0:03:36for oil in the seabed, was blown on to this beach

0:03:36 > 0:03:40on the Isle of Lewis two weeks ago.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42It's called the Transocean Winner and was being moved from Norway

0:03:42 > 0:03:45to Malta when stormy weather hit and it became separated

0:03:45 > 0:03:50from the boat that was pulling it along.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53The oil rig weighs a huge 17,000 tonnes, which is equal to the weight

0:03:53 > 0:04:02of 28 Airbus A380s - the biggest planes in the world.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06It was carrying 280 tonnes of diesel oil when it ran aground

0:04:06 > 0:04:09but in the last couple of days, salvage teams have managed to move

0:04:09 > 0:04:13200 tonnes of it on to another ship.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Some of the oil did escape when the rig was washed ashore,

0:04:16 > 0:04:21but it's thought to have evaporated.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Environmental groups have been worried that more oil could leak

0:04:23 > 0:04:28and cause pollution to the wildlife there and affect the beach,

0:04:28 > 0:04:33which is popular with tourists and surfers.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Once the rig is moved clear, it will be checked for damage before

0:04:36 > 0:04:38the company can decide whether it can be repaired

0:04:38 > 0:04:39or will have to be scrapped.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46That's all for now, I'll be back with more Newsround

0:04:46 > 0:04:48in about half an hour.
