This sorta of thing would be all over the front of the Wigan Observer nowa-says.
You certainly get headlines when a child drowns whilst playing in the canal, and British Waterways put our regular warnings about the dangers of swimming in the canal, especially in the locks - but you'll still see gangs of kids leaping into the water all the way up the Wigan flight every hot summer's day there is.
