Summary
A 55-year-old woman was found dead at Swan Pool in Sandwell Valley Country Park on Saturday evening after disappearing in the water at about 16:30 BST.
West Midlands Police said specialist water teams recovered her body, while fire crews sent to reports of a person in trouble at 16:45 arrived within five minutes.
Police said nothing could be done to save her, are supporting her family and will liaise with the coroner because the death is not being treated as suspicious.
The death adds to a run of UK water fatalities during hot weather, including a 22-year-old man recovered in Shrewsbury on Saturday and other deaths in Essex and Wales.
