If more than one person goes swimming together at the beach, assign people to take turns watching the children.

If swimming in the sea, make sure your child wears a safe, qualified life jacket that is suitable for the child's size and fastens all buckles.

If you take your children on a boat together, both parents and children should wear life jackets and make sure that all buckles are fastened.

How to save yourself in case of drowning?

Calm down first

Try to stay calm, do not raise your hands above your head, do not struggle desperately, relax your whole body, and remove heavy objects.

Hold your breath, head back, and face up, so that the mouth and nose are exposed to the water.

Deep inhalation and shallow exhalation

When breathing, pay attention to deep inhalation and shallow exhalation, brush the water regularly with your hands and legs, and make sure to hold on to floating objects if you encounter them, while asking for help from your surroundings.

Do not panic and grab the rescuer.

How to rescue a drowning person?
