Only on Wednesday, June 12, 6 people died as a result of drowning in Poland. As of April 97, the water has already claimed XNUMX victims. The Government Center for Security calls for caution over water despite favorable weather conditions.
Let’s remember the basic rules of safety in water – Bożena Wysocka from the Government Security Center told PAP on Thursday. Despite the hot weather, we should be careful, because water is an unpredictable element.
How to stay safe on the water? It is important to bathe only in the presence of a lifeguard in designated areas. Especially, we should remember not to enter the water under the influence of alcohol under any circumstances, because “then we lose the possibility of orientation, we often overestimate our skills” – warns Bożena Wysocka from the press department of RCB. She also made sure not to take a bath immediately after eating a meal.
“Besides, let’s never run into the water when it’s hot, you always have to cool down before we start swimming”. Wysocka also added to remember about the basic principles of security, i.e. Always wear a life jacket when using boats, kayaks or pedal boats.
