Be attentive! Only together with you can we stop the sad statistics

Since June 1, a total of 283 people have drowned in the Republic, including 20 children!

Please observe the rules of conduct on water bodies. These rules are few:

- refrain from swimming in unknown water bodies not intended for this purpose; if there is no equipped beach nearby, choose a safe swimming spot with a firm sandy bottom, free of debris, and a gradual slope.

- avoid swimming alone;

- do not enter the water while intoxicated, as alcohol blocks the vasoconstrictor and vasodilator centers of the brain.

- never jump into the water in areas not specifically equipped for it: you may hit your head on the bottom, a rock, or another object, easily lose consciousness, injure yourself, and die.

- it is forbidden to dive from bridges, piers, and wharves, or to swim close to passing boats, motorboats, and vessels.

- it is forbidden to swim on inflatable mattresses or inner tubes (especially if you cannot swim). They can be carried very far from the shore by wind or current, swamped by waves, lose air, and lose buoyancy;

- do not engage in rough horseplay in the water: ducking under swimmers, grabbing their legs, "drowning" them, giving false distress signals, etc.;

- do not swim beyond the warning buoys, as they mark areas with a checked bottom, a specific depth, and guarantee the absence of whirlpools, etc. Do not swim far from the shore or swim across a water body as a dare.

- do not leave children unattended near water.

Rescue service numbers are 101 and 112!

Do not repeat others' mistakes and remember – you are expected ashore alive!
