High temperatures lead many people to seek places to swim, but not all are suitable or recommended, and this time forest rangers accompany us to tell us about the dangers of this practice.
We visited the dam at Estremera Beach, on the banks of the River Tagus. The location, with its beautiful views, clear water, and the curves of the small dam that create water slides, invites swimming, but can also pose dangers.

The forest patrol explained to us how the force of the water and sunken stakes pose a serious danger to the unwary. The ranger also mentioned that there have already been some deaths.
The force of the water, moreover, can easily sweep a person away due to the strong currents that form, making it a tragedy if these rangers are not present at the time of the incident.
