Supervisors keep their eyes out, absolutely do not leave it to rescue workers.
Many parents have a habit of taking their children to swimming pools and then calmly surfing their phones or doing private work because they think there are rescue workers. This is a mistake that may cost their children's lives. International medical experts warn that drowning is a silent death, without any cries for help or fierce struggles like in movies. Just a minute of carelessness, disaster can strike. The core principle is to always keep distance from children within reach.
Heat shock and infections of hidden killers from swimming pools
Not only is there the risk of drowning, but letting children jump into the pool immediately after walking under the scorching sun can easily cause heat shock. In addition, public swimming pools, even with filtration systems, still contain a significant amount of chemicals and bacteria. Children with a weak immune system are very susceptible to diseases of the ear, nose, and throat, pinkeye or skin infections. Parents need to remind their children to shower before and after swimming, and not to let children swim when they have open wounds.
Recognize signs of shallow drowning to save your child in time
An extremely dangerous but few people expect is the phenomenon of shallow drowning or secondary drowning. This occurs when a child accidentally swallows or inhales a small amount of water into their lungs while swimming. After being on the shore for a few hours or even days, this amount of water will cause respiratory failure. If you see that the child has symptoms of continuous cough, shortness of breath, unusual fatigue or drowsiness after swimming, immediately take the child to the nearest medical facility.
