Safe behavior in summer

Rules of safe behavior on the water in summer:

1. You should swim in specially equipped places: beaches, swimming pools, bathing places.

2. Do not enter water while intoxicated. Alcohol blocks normal brain activity.

3. The water should be kept no more than 10-15 minutes. With hypothermia of the body, convulsions may occur. In case of convulsions, pricking with any sharp object (pin, sliver, sharp stone, etc.) helps.

4. Do not swim close to ships in progress. A current arises near the going motor ship, which can tighten under the propeller.

5. It is dangerous to jump or dive into the water in an unknown place - you can hit your head on the ground, snag, pile, etc., break the cervical vertebrae, lose consciousness and die.

6. Avoid rough water play. You can not swim under the bathing people, 'drown', give false signals for help, etc.

7. Do not leave babies unattended near water. They can stumble, fall, drown in water, or fall into a hole.

8. Swim very carefully on air mattresses and inflatable toys. Wind or current can carry them far from the coast, and a wave can overwhelm them, air can escape from them, which can lead to loss of buoyancy.

9. Do not use rowing boats, powerboats, pedal boats and motorcycles in beach areas, in public bathing areas without a beach buoy fence and within the boundaries of this area.

10. Do not swim in the water area where boats and jet skis move. You risk being harmed by the undisciplined or inattentive owner of a high-speed motorized watercraft.
