« Safety on the water »

Children and water are a special topic in the summer. Water is dangerous not only for toddlers, but also for older children, schoolchildren. 
All children love to swim, swim, splash, and just be near the water. Therefore, especially close attention of parents should be paid to the kids. After all, in the summer, many parents spend time with their children in the country, in the village. If there is even a small pond within a radius of 100 meters, the task of parents is not to leave the child unattended for a minute.
I would like to pay special attention to the use of inflatable mattresses, car cameras.  There is a misconception among adults that inflatable mattresses, circles and other bathing items are a reliable means of protection. But, it's not. Firstly, because the product is easily damaged, and it can deflate at the most inopportune moment, and secondly, it is very easy to slip off the swimming device into the water and if the child does not know how to swim, then he can drown.The Department of Emergency Situations of the Almaty region conducts preventive raid activities during the summer holidays on water bodies and pools with children and parents, conversations are held, briefings on safety on the water. As well as training in rescuing people and providing first aid. 
Choose a place for swimming carefully and responsibly, avoid places with a high bank, the bottom should be clean. No matter how well the child swims, do not let him swim at depth, even in your presence. 
Dear parents! Summer is a wonderful time for relaxation, positive emotions, vivid impressions. But this is also the most traumatic period for children. So do everything you can to keep your child out of trouble. Try to make your vacation as safe as possible, be close to your children and take care of them.
