The rules of self-rescue from drowning that everyone needs to know
first
Don't panic Keep your brain awake
second
Grab floating objects such as plastic, foam
Or something like a lifebuoy
Wait for rescue
Remember!!
Do not lift your hands up (perpendicular to the water) when drowning
Or desperately yelling and struggling
In case of rapid physical depletion
Get into the water faster
The right thing to do is:
The top of the head can be back and the mouth and nose up
Expose your mouth and nose to the surface of the water for breathing
In case of choking
Hold your breath at the same time and keep your limbs relaxed
This posture can be minimized
The area of the body in contact with water
Thus reducing the resistance of the water
Allow yourself to stay on the surface of the water for longer
Other than that
Breathe slowly while lying on the surface of the water
If you're short of breath
It's easy to get stuck in the water
In addition to the "lying flat" type of self-rescue, there is also a way called "jellyfish hugging" that can also be used for "drowning" self-rescue.
"Jellyfish hugging" is to curl up the body and hold your knees tightly with both hands.
As long as the person who falls into the water can remain relaxed during this process and hold his breath at the same time, he will automatically float up.

How to properly rescue a drowning person?
Being able to swim is not the same as being able to save people. When encountering someone drowning, you must ensure your own safety when rescuing and avoid blind rescue.
1. Rescue on the shore by the method of "shouting, stretching and throwing".
- "Call": shout for help and seek help from more people around you;
- "Call": call the police at 110, 119, 120, etc. for help;
- "Stretch": Under the condition of ensuring one's own safety, hand branches, sticks, bamboo poles, etc. to the person who falls into the water;
- "Throwing": Throwing floating objects such as foam blocks, lifebuoys, and sealed empty plastic bottles to the drowning person to help them float for help.
2. If the conditions for launching the rescue are met, the rescuer should approach the drowning person from behind, and then hold up his body, let his head out of the water, and swim sideways to shore.
Note! Never approach a drowning person from the front. Because out of the instinct to survive, they may cling to anything. In case of being caught, one should let go and sink, leaving the drowning person first and then rescuing.
Reminder:
Summer is the time when drowning accidents are high
Be sure to keep drowning prevention knowledge in mind
Be vigilant and beware of accidents
