If a person drowns:
Immediately call loudly for help: "A man is drowning!"
Ask to call rescuers and an ambulance.
Throw a lifebuoy to the drowning person, a long rope with a knot at the end.
If you swim well, take off your clothes and shoes and swim to the drowning. Talk to him. If you hear an adequate answer, feel free to give him a shoulder as a support and help him swim to shore. If a drowning person is in a panic, grabs you and drags you into the water, use force. If you can't get free from the grip, take a deep breath and dive under the water, dragging the rescued person with you.
He will definitely let you go. If a drowning person is unconscious, you can transport him to the shore by holding his hair.
If you drown yourself:
Don't panic.
Take off your extra clothes, shoes, shout, call for help.
Roll over on your back, spread your arms wide, relax, take a few deep breaths.
Before you go swimming, do not forget to take a safety pin with you. It will help you if cramps start in the water. If you have a cramped leg, and you don't have a pin with you, pinch the calf muscle several times. If this does not help, firmly grasp the big toe and sharply straighten it. Swim to the shore.
You choked on water:
don't panic, try to turn your back to the wave;
press your arms bent at the elbows to the lower part of your chest and make a few sharp exhalations, helping yourself with your hands;
then clear your nose of water and make a few swallowing movements;
After recovering your breath, lie down on your stomach and move to the shore;
If necessary, call people for help.
