Precautions at a summer body of water.

Safety Precautions at Summer Water Bodies.

Hot weather is expected this weekend, which means it's time not only to relax but also to recall important rules:

Do not leave children unattended.
Swim only in designated areas where recreation is permitted and lifeguards are on duty. In the Verkhnedvinsk district, there are 3 permitted locations: 2 beaches on Lake Osvy, and 1 beach in the town of Verkhnedvinsk.
Do not swim far from the shore and do not overestimate your abilities.
Do not enter the water while intoxicated – this is one of the most common causes of accidents.
Do not swim alone, especially if you are not a strong swimmer.
Do not leave children unattended for even a minute. Even in shallow water, a child can be in danger.
Do not dive in unfamiliar places – there may be rocks, snags, and other dangerous objects at the bottom.
Do not swim beyond buoys and do not approach ships, boats, and catamarans.
Do not jump into the water from bridges, cliffs, and piers if you are unsure of the depth and safety.
Monitor the weather: swimming is prohibited during thunderstorms, strong winds, or storms.
Do not get too cold – prolonged immersion in water can lead to cramps and a decline in well-being.
Use safety equipment for children and those who are not strong swimmers.

If trouble occurs:

- Immediately call for lifeguards or adults;

- Call 112;

- If possible, help the victim without putting yourself in danger.
