How can a person who can't swim save himself from drowning?
1. Keep your body afloat on the water as much as possible and wait for someone else to help you.
2. If there is something around you that you can grasp, pull, or hold, grab it quickly and use your strength to surface.
3. If you don't have anything to catch, you have to rely on some skill to float on your own.
4. When ventilating, exhale shallowly and inhale deeply.
5. When someone comes to the rescue, be sure to listen to the rescuer's command and do not drag the rescuer.

Cross your hands over your chest
Tilt your head back and breathe through your mouth

The knee joint should be slightly flexed

How can swimmers save themselves in case of emergencies?
01
Extraction muscle
Leg cramps: swim to the shore or grab nearby floaters as soon as possible; If you can't continue swimming, take a deep breath and dive underwater, try to straighten your feet, and then push your legs out as hard as you can, until the cramps slowly subside.
Finger cramps: Immediately clench your hands into fists, grasp them repeatedly, and then spread them firmly until they no longer cramp. Can float on your back.
02
Lung-hsien
Treading water as much as possible and exposing your head to the surface of the water will reduce the need to choke on water again. Tread water regularly for a while to calm yourself down before taking other measures.
03
Encounter a whirlpool
Try to lie flat on the surface of the water and swim quickly in the direction of the whirlpool using the most common swimming style.
04
Entangled in aquatic plants, etc
Don't struggle and kick too hard, or you'll get the weeds tighter.
If someone is nearby, ask for help as soon as possible, grab something you can grab and bring your body to the surface.
If not, the most effective way is to take a deep breath and dive into the water to unravel the aquatic weeds.
