The public has been given a warning after a video showing lads using a paddling pool to float down the River Trent surfaced online.
The video, which has been viewed more than one million times on Tik Tok, shows people blowing up an inflatable paddling pool they bought from Lidl.
They then float down the Trent using a "wok and a baking tray" as makeshift oars.
Footage shows the pool floating down the embankment and under Trent Bridge.
The Canal and River Trust has, however, warned that while the idea may seem fun, it could have ended much worse.
They have urged people not to head into the water, as hot weather looks to continue, and stay out of the river which is "powerful and busy".
A spokesperson for the Canal and River Trust said: "We’re all for people heading down to their local river or canal during hot weather but we’d urge them to keep safe and stay on dry land.
"The paddling pool may look fun but it really wasn’t a good idea to take it out onto the water and it could have ended really badly.
"The River Trent is a powerful, busy river and, in a flimsy paddling pool with little more than a wok and a baking tray to paddle, it’s obvious that the lads involved could have got into trouble very easily.
"With the hot weather set to continue we’d ask people to please be sensible around their local canal or river, staying out of the water and going home safe and dry at the end of the day."
