You should stay in the water for 10-15 minutes, before swimming, you must first wipe the body with water.

Do not cling to boats, climb out on signs of navigation equipment (buoys, buoys, etc.);
You can not swim up to passing vessels, swim behind buoys that restrict the swim zone, and swim out on the fairway;
If you are in the water on a strong current, do not try to swim towards it, you will not be able to cope with it; in this case, you need to swim with the current, but so that you gradually approach the shore;
If you are caught in a whirlpool, do not be afraid, take a lot of air, dive and try to turn sharply away from it;
If you have cramped muscles, lie on your back and swim to the shore, try to RUB the cramped muscles;

For bathing children during hikes, walks and excursions, choose a shallow place on a pond with a flat bottom without piles, snags, sharp stones, glass, algae and silt. Examination of the bathing area is carried out by adults who can swim and dive well. Bathing children should be supervised by adults.

The ability to swim is a way of self-preservation on the water.
The ability to swim well is a guarantee against accidents on the water.
