First, don't try to struggle to surface after drowning. The most important thing at this time is to hold your breath and relax, which will reduce your weight. Due to the buoyancy of water, the body will sink to a certain extent and the body will float. After taking a breath of air, the whole body relaxes and floats on the water. The limbs naturally droop and float quietly like jellyfish. Every time you shout, you waste your strength and drown. We should float on the water as much as possible and wait for the help of others.
Secondly, if you find someone drowning next to you, shout for help and ask people around you for help. Call the police as soon as possible when the river is too fast to be effectively rescued. Find a long bamboo pole nearby and reach the drowning person with one end of the bamboo pole. We should not blindly go into the water to save people. When saving people, we must consider the current situation of the river and our own swimming skills to avoid danger. We can often see the news of the unfortunate death of rescuers, which sounds an alarm to us. After being rescued, let the drowning man lie flat on the ground, pry his mouth open quickly, and remove foreign bodies, such as weeds, from his throat and nose to keep his airway open. If necessary, artificial respiration, chest compressions, etc.
The mother in this incident was eager to save her son and rushed into the water without swimming, which reflected the greatness of maternal love; However, what we need to reflect on is that we need to improve the swimming level of the whole people, so that most people can master swimming skills, so that they will not panic when they encounter water and save themselves. It is often necessary to master certain swimming knowledge before these skills can play a role. When you can't swim, when you fall into the water, all your skills may be forgotten.
