Pool
bathtub
Open baths
When children appear in these places, parents should not be distracted to do other things, but should concentrate on "effective care", and parents should keep a distance from their children within an arm's length, so that in case of danger, they can be rescued in time.
How to achieve "effective caregiving", you can keep the following 8 points in mind:
1. Do not swim in the water without permission, and parents should always take care of them.
2. Insist that your child wear high-quality floats.
3. Ask your child to move his body before entering the water to avoid cramps and other phenomena.
4. Do not feed your child in the water, as you may choke.
5. Teach children not to frolic in the water to prevent choking and suffocation.
6. Teach your child to learn to swim and learn skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
7. Do not swim in unfamiliar waters, without safety facilities, and without rescue personnel.
8. When you are not familiar with the nature of the water and the underwater situation is unclear, do not go into the water to rescue without authorization.
In case of drowning, don't panic, "scream and stretch" to rescue
If you encounter someone drowning, don't panic, don't go into the water to rescue without permission, and remember the "screaming and throwing" method.
Notes:
The first "call": shouting for help.
The second "call": call 110 or 120 for help.
The third "stretch": stretch the bamboo pole or clothes around you, and pull back the drowning person on the basis of ensuring the safety of your position, while taking care to avoid the bamboo pole poking the face of the person who has fallen into the water.
The fourth "throw": throw floating objects such as foam blocks, lifebuoys, and sealed plastic empty buckets to the drowning person and wait for rescue.
Don't be afraid of drowning, take a way to save yourself
Not happening is always the best way to prevent it, but there are ways to save yourself from a dangerous situation.
Principle: Take all available methods to intermittently expose the head to the surface of the water for ventilation.
Notes:
1. If you accidentally fall into the water, don't panic, take the right measures to save yourself, so as to fight for the chance of being rescued.
2. If you are not accustomed to water, you should quickly tilt your head back, mouth up, try to expose your mouth and nose to the water, and do not raise your hands or struggle, so as not to sink your body.
3. Shake off heavy objects in your shoes and pockets in time, but don't take off your clothes, as it will create a certain buoyancy that will help you a lot.
4. If someone jumps into the water to rescue you, don't hold on to the rescuer, but try to relax and cooperate with the rescuer to bring you to the shore.
