Parliament Hill Lido has urged visitors to have shorter swims now that temperatures have dropped.
A lido has urged swimmers to spend less time in the water, after seeing at least one hypothermia case a day over the past week.
A member of the Parliament Hill Lido User Group asked swimmers to avoid spending too long in the water in light of the recent hypothermia cases. The lido told the BBC that although none of the cases was serious enough to require hospital treatment, the lifeguards were taken away from their other duties, putting swimmers at risk.One member of the swimmers' group said they had seen the lifeguards "calmly handle two emergencies within a 15-minute period".
She told BBC London the lido had been "rather inundated by people wanting to try out this new 'craze' of winter swimming in recent years".
