A desperate cry for help. Overturned boat. Crowd on the shore.
Drowning
A person who cannot swim well, is physically weak or tired, is sick or injured, as well as a person who finds himself in cold water or accidentally falls into the water can drown. If you do not come to the aid of this person, the incident may end in the death of the victim. The following may indicate that a person is in trouble:
• trying to swim does not lead to progress;
•an expression of despair appears on the face;
• the person calls for help or waves his arms to attract attention;
• if a person is sick or injured, he can hold on to the affected part of the body with one hand;
•a person tries to get closer to the shore, grabs the raft or the side of the boat;
•a drowning person flaps his arms chaotically, trying to move out of the water to get air, instead of trying to swim
such attempts are involuntary and do not last long;
the body is in a vertical position in the water, the legs no longer perform swimming movements.
