Water procedures bring not only benefit to the growing organism, but also lighten the mood, giving huge joy of bathing. At the same time water also source of danger. Therefore, having a rest at reservoirs with children, it is impossible to forget about elementary rules of conduct on water.
Elementary rules of bathing in reservoirs anyway know practically everything, but many neglect them, risking life. When business concerns safety of the child about any disorder out of the question. The child and parents have to know what is possible and what cannot be done, being in water.
The chief inspector - the parent
The most important rule which is an axiom for each parent – never to leave the child unguarded! Near open reservoirs especially. To the child it is strictly forbidden not that to bathe, and and to approach water if there are no adults nearby.
Parents have to be in water near the offspring. To release him to float alone – inadmissibly. Accident can suddenly occur, and parents can not manage to come to the rescue to the drowning child in time.
Without protection anywhere
The child always has to be in a life jacket, a rubber ring or oversleeves. Even if it resists, referring to what is able to float, or the place where he bathes, to it "knee-deep".
Advantage of the warning boards
Children are forbidden to bathe in not equipped places. Even if there small and at first sight safely. The board preventing "bathing it is forbidden", points that the bottom is in these parts not studied. And therefore in any place, even the smallest, there can be a deep hole or, for example, glass about which it is possible to be wounded.
Any depth
It is impossible to allow the child to float at a depth even if parents consider that he is a good swimmer. Especially it concerns stay on the river where there is a current. Water flows can carry away an easy body of the child quickly enough as it has no forces to resist water elements.
Protect ears
Adults need as little as possible to allow children to dive. The water which got into an ear can provoke a serious disease. If water nevertheless got, it is necessary to stop at once water procedures, to incline the child on that ear in which there was water. The earlier to make it, the quicker the ear will be released.
"no" to dangerous games
If children bathe with the noisy company, then adults need to be twice careful. Often children, playing various games, for example, heat each other, do not notice that side behind which the person can choke and drown. In general, it is better to exclude similar games during which the child can steep under water.
There is no bottom underfoot
Never the kid has to swim where does not get a bottom legs. Even if parents are sure that they can follow the child. Can happen so that the child will turn over or will have suffered much waters. At him panic can begin. And understanding that he is defenseless can put him a serious psychological trauma.
Jumps from height are dangerous
It is strictly forbidden to jump in water from breaks and other heights. It is possible to land unsuccessfully on a stomach or to damage about a leg bottom.
Not to overcool
And, at last, parents should not allow overcoolings of the child. It is necessary to be in water not for long, alternating bathing to rest under the sun. Blue lips and shoulders shivering with cold – the first sign of that to the child it is time to go home.
