Safety rules on and near the water and the first aid in dangerous situations

Introduction Spring is coming, and then the summer will increase the number of people who loves water. It is the time when we must remember about safety rules.

Some safety rules 1. Don`t dive beneath the water surface without special equipment and in places what you don`t know very well. 2. Don`t go into the water without adults supervision (applies to children). 3. Go swimming only together with adults. 4. Don`t joke on the water. 5. If it is very hot, don`t run into the water but do it slowly. Your body temperature can`t change so quickly and cramps can start.

Rules in danger Somebody is drowning. What exactly should be done in this situation? 1. Before the rescue on water assess the situation. You can do that if you are a good swimmer and you know how to do it. Rescueing will be dangerous for you. 2. The most obvious is the rescue from the bank. You can throw the rope or a ball or other floating objects to the drowner. 3. If you're an eyewitness, try to remember the scene of accident and tell it to rescuers.
