There are many dangers associated with wild swimming
On the one hand, in addition to the dangers caused by factors such as uncertain water flow conditions, slippery stones, silt, and aquatic organisms such as algae and snakes often hide "killing opportunities".

How to save yourself and rescue
(1) How to save yourself from drowning
01
Don't be afraid to sink into the water, don't try to get yourself to the surface by struggling after drowning, that will only backfire, the most important thing at this time is to hold your breath, relax your whole body, remove the weight on your body, because the water is buoyant, the body sinks to a certain extent, and the human body without weight will float upward.
02
When you float up, your arms are like birds and you should paddle downwards quickly, and your upper arms should be raised slowly. At the same time, take a position with your head back and mouth up, first expose your mouth and nose to the surface of the water, and breathe immediately. Exhale shallowly, inhale deeply, and float as much as possible on the surface of the water while waiting for others to help you.
03
If you drown in a swimming pool with a depth of 2-3 meters, the person who falls into the water can accelerate up with his feet when he touches the bottom, and call for help immediately when he comes to the surface.
04
If you are drowning due to calf cramps, you should take a deep breath and then breathe, and pull the thumb of the spasmodic lower limb forward and upward until the spasm stops. For cramps in other areas, massage and stretch the affected area thoroughly, find opportunities to float up, and breathe fully.
05
Entangled in aquatic weeds: Be calm, hold your breath after inhaling and burrow into the water, use your hands to slowly free yourself from the entanglement, and do not struggle, otherwise you may be entangled tighter.
