THE WATER RESCUE SERVICE ADVISES YOU
Water is a part of our lives. Everyone's life depends on her. We need to learn to appreciate and respect it. But we also need to learn and SAFELY contact her.
In order for your emotions by the water to be pleasant, the Water Rescue Service (SJC) of the Bulgarian Red Cross recommends some basic rules:
If we follow these rules, we will significantly reduce the risk and avoid unwanted accidents while bathing, swimming or playing in the water.
USEFUL TIPS
To make your emotions by the water only pleasant, the Water Rescue Service of the Bulgarian Red Cross recommends:
The three main causes of drowning are:
PREVENTION PROGRAMS:
If a seizure does occur, self-control should be maintained. When inhaling air, the human body has a positive buoyancy, which allows the retention of the water surface without swimming movements. With one or two hands, the limb is folded and unfolded in order to stretch the muscle several times until it relaxes. The muscle is then rubbed.
Prick with sharp objects does not help, but further irritates the muscle and further aggravates the seizure.
Getting into a whirlpool is extremely dangerous, as it sucks bathers in depth. Bathing and swimming in places where vortices are likely to form and near dam walls is prohibited.
Exit from the vortex is possible in the natural way of the water - to the bottom, then sideways and to the surface. However, this is only possible with very good diving and swimming skills
In strong waves, the surf has a great impact force that can knock a person down, hit him in the bottom, drag him and cause injuries. This in many cases leads to drowning. After reaching the shore, the water masses return and cause a powerful water flow rushing towards the sea. This stream seems to "pull" the bottom under the feet of bathers and makes it difficult to get ashore, that is. Observe the flag signaling To overcome the surf wave, you dive under it when entering, and exit is done using the wave, trying to "catch the wave".
Swimming under water is a serious danger and is one of the most common causes of drowning in a swimming pool. Follow the savior 's instructions!
