  It is really important to clarify the law and bring it into line with Scotland. I love open water swimming and encourage others to join me but I need to be assured that it is legal.

  Freedom cannot stop at waterways, and with the access rights should come clear labelling on swimmers' safety.

  Rivers are natural highways and should be open to responsible boaters. They afford immensely pleasurable leisure-time opportunities and their use encourages people to be active in the outdoors and appreciate the natural world.

  It is akin to the right to roam, and just as important.

  Free up as much waterway as possible. don't mind paying for a license, just want less hassle.

  Swimming in waterways is health-giving, both physically and psychologically. Let us use this resource which should be available to all.

  I hate having rocks thrown at me in England and Wales. Why do I have to go to Scotland (or Europe) to be welcomed with opened arms for my tourist money?

  Opening up the waterways will benefit the general public and help tourism. It's a no-lose situation.

  We shouldn't have to be asking permission to enjoy our countryside.

  It works in Scotland so there is no argument for not having it in the rest of the UK.

  Let people enjoy nature how it was intended!
