Follow the safety rules when swimming in reservoirs

With the arrival of warm days, people are increasingly impatient to go out into nature, especially where there is a reservoir.

Summer is a season of active recreation: fishing, hunting, trips to nature to reservoirs or just relaxing on the beach. But it is during the summer season that the main number of tragedies on the water occurs.

On the eve of summer, the emergency Department of the Zharma district warns residents about the need to comply with safety measures during recreation on reservoirs.

The swimming season opens every year on June 1. It is best to swim in specially equipped areas: beaches, pools, and areas patrolled by lifeguards.

Acceptable lower temperature limit for safe bathing: water - +18 0C, air- + 22 0C. This is for healthy, seasoned people. For children and people with impaired health, bathing at this temperature is dangerous to health and life.

Be careful, follow the rules of behavior on the water. This will help to avoid irreversible consequences and will not cause distress to relatives and friends. Water is not terrible for those who can swim well, who observe caution and rules of behavior on the water. Safe rest is, first of all, prudence and common sense. Let's refresh your memory of what you need to remember when going to the beach.

-try to choose beaches that have working rescue stations;

- never swim alone;

-never dive into the water if you don't know the depth;

-never lose sight of children and the elderly. They can lose their balance and drown even in shallow water;

-do not drink alcohol.
