Organisers at Parliament Hill Lido in Hampstead Heath, north London, say lifeguards dealt with a hypothermic swimmer every day last week
"This week, the lifeguards have dealt with at least one hypothermic swimmer every day, and they are becoming concerned that people are not taking the temperature seriously.AdvertisementParliament Hill Lido issued this post warning users about a drop in temperature at its unheated outdoor poolSymptoms include shivering, slurred speech and tiredness or confusion. One of the main symptoms is pale, cold and dry skin and blue-coloured skin and lips.
