3. Inform your child if you find that your companion is drowning, what he needs to do: shout loudly, but do not go to the water; you can throw the surrounding life circle to the drowning person.

Regarding drowning, we need to avoid the following misunderstandings

1. Inflatable water toys and swimming circles, there is no way to protect the children in the water well

The inflatable plastic water toys and swimming rings are not professional floating equipment, but just a kind of auxiliary tool to help children temporarily float on the water. When the water flow changes, or the child does not seize it, the child may drown.

The often accidents are that the inflatable water toys and swimming rings suddenly flipped through your child's head or inflatable water toy, and the swimming ring suddenly leaked, causing drowning incidents. Therefore, inflatable water toys and swimming rings are just a kind of auxiliary tool rather than designed life -saving equipment for life -saving. At the same time, you must remember that no equipment can replace adults' guardianship.

2. Swimming pool guardians will not only monitor your children

The main responsibility of the pool guardian is to maintain the order of the entire swimming pool, and swimmers can safely swim in the swimming pool. At the same time, when an accident occurred, he could give assistance as soon as possible. To this end, he cannot stare at your child's swimming situation from time to time, and it is your first responsibility to effectively look at the children in the water protection.

3. When the child is drowning, he will not desperately pat the water or shout, so you cannot be discovered in time

When a child is drowning, he may not be able to pat the water or shout desperately, but silent, or even standing, or lowering his head underwater, and you may think he is practicing his breath. To this end, children should always take care of them in the water.
