The warning follows an incident earlier this week where youngsters were found swimming in the water of a disused quarry in the area of Colne Golf Club.
A spokesman for Colne and West Craven Police said: Parents, do you know what your children are doing? It has been brought to our attention that children have been swimming in the water of a disused quarry in the area of Colne Golf Club. Now that the weather is finally warming up, we understand how tempting it might be to go for a swim, but we ask you to please remind your children of the dangers of open water.
