On Friday, officers were carrying out cycle patrols in Elsecar Park.
A spokesperson for the Barnsley South Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “People risk cold water shock, potential life-changing or life-ending injuries caused by unseen underwater obstacles, diseases caused by waterborne bacteria or sewage and drowning.”

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
