The expert recalled the safety rules for reservoirs in summer

Survival expert Eduard Khalilov spoke about the safety rules when staying near the water.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Thursday, May 29, the expert stressed that the main rule is not to abuse alcohol.

"Every time people drink in nature, the threshold of vigilance decreases, the feeling of fear disappears. And here the competition begins, who will swim further, who will jump higher — inadequate and unsafe actions," Khalilov explained.

According to him, it is also necessary to monitor children near reservoirs. It is best to swim only in specially prepared places where rescue posts and rescue services are equipped.

In addition, the expert urged to be careful in the sun to avoid heat stroke. Dangerous situations are when a person overheats and jumps into the water. This is fraught with loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest due to temperature changes. Khalilov also urged not to swim deep, as cramps may occur at any moment.
