Scottish Water is urging the public to stay safe around reservoirs and waterways during the summer months.
The warning comes ahead of a Water Safety Open Day at Loch Lomond Shores in Balloch, taking place on July 25 from 11am.
Peter Farrer, chief operating officer at Scottish Water, said: "While people should enjoy any good weather we have this summer and take pleasure around beautiful lochs, reservoirs, rivers and beaches, it’s absolutely vital they stay safe at all times and behave responsibly.
"As the number of tragic water-related deaths this year have shown, safety is a serious issue in all bodies of water.
"We are reminding parents to keep their children safe and asking everyone to act responsibly around reservoirs and other watercourses."
The event will feature 23 stalls, water rescue demonstrations, and taster sessions in swimming and canoeing.
Visitors can also try a Scottish Water quiz and learn more about responsible outdoor behaviour.
