Consultation for parents - water safety in summer

When the warm season comes, to keep the baby from splashing in the sea, the lake or the river is almost impossible. And this should not even be done, because water procedures under the rays of the tender summer sun are a unique chance to strengthen health and raise immunity. But accidents when swimming in open water - it's not uncommon. Therefore, a consultation for parents regarding the safety of children on the water in the summer is very relevant.

How to make water procedures as safe as possible?

If you go on vacation, listen to the advice for parents about safety on the water just needed. After all, not everywhere there are rescue services, which, moreover, may not be in time to swim to a drowning baby. Therefore, explain to the child the following rules of behavior near the pond:

1. Even if your child can swim, do not allow him to swim a long distance from the coast on his own.
2. Usually, in the consultation for parents about the safety of children on the water, they are advised to put on them lifebuoys or vests. They can not fully guarantee that the child will not drown, but will allow him to at least stay on the water until help arrives.
3. Do not allow children to dive in places not adapted to this: in shallow water or where the bottom is too hard or covered with sharp seashells.
4. Safety of preschool children on the water is a separate topic for parents. Such crumbs are not recommended for a long time to be in the pond (longer than 20 minutes) in order to avoid hypothermia or sunstroke.
5. At any consultation related to safety on the water, you will learn that during the games the child should be as cautious as possible: do not push other children, and even less do not burn them even as a joke.
6. Do not allow your offspring to swim in ponds with lots of algae: they can easily get entangled in them and drown.
