Summer is a good time for vacation. In order to have a good rest at the water's edge for yourself and your health, you need to learn how to swim and observe the rules of behavior in water.

Since ancient times, people have known the wonderful power of swimming and water exercise, and followed the principle of "learning to swim before you can swim". If you feel shivering, get out of the water and make a short but active movement along the shore. The duration of immersion depends on air and water temperature, air humidity and wind strength.  The most pleasant conditions for swimming are clear windless weather, air temperature +25 C and higher. It is necessary to start diving at a water temperature of +18 C. Swimming is recommended 1.5 hours after eating. It is best to swim at children's beaches, which are well equipped and equipped with the necessary equipment to prevent accidents. Do not forget that children can swim only when they are accompanied by adults.

• Swimming only in authorized places and in the presence of adults;

• Do not swim during stormy weather and in places with strong waves;
• If you fall into a strong current, do not try to swim against it, in this case you need to swim close to the shore with the current;
• If you are caught in a current, do not be afraid, take more air and try to suddenly turn away from it;
• If your muscles are cramping, do not turn on your back lie down and swim to the shore, try to rub your cramped muscles;
