In fact, the number of student drowning incidents is far more than these four, and the number of casualties is far beyond people's imagination. In order to reduce the occurrence of similar tragedies, there is no doubt that the simplest and most direct way is for parents and schools to warn their children not to play by the water, let alone swim in the wild. In addition, children should be taught how to save themselves and others after drowning.

How to save yourself after drowning

1. Stay calm after drowning. Try to put your head back, your mouth up, and breathe for help after your mouth and nose come out of the water.

2. Don't raise your hand to draw water at will, so as not to sink; Paddle with both hands, observe the life-saving articles thrown by the rescuer, and quickly bend over.

3. When the rescuer swims to his side, he should lie on his back on the water with the rescuer and drag himself to a safe place.

It is most important to save your strength after drowning and wait for rescue. People who can swim, such as muscle fatigue and cramps, should also take the above self-help measures; Get rid of the heavy things in shoes and pockets in time, but don't take off your clothes, because clothes can generate certain buoyancy.

How to rescue drowning people?

1. If you find someone drowning, you should immediately take out your mobile phone and call 120. After the call, you should quickly put yourself into the rescue, but pay attention to the method.

2. The rescuer should not approach from the front of the drowning person after launching, but should outflank the rescuer from the back or side and take the drowning person to a safe place by backstroke.

3. When rescuing, it is best to lift the drowning person out of the water and take the initiative to sink. Once the drowning person breathes the air, he won't insist desperately. At this time, the rescuer will wait for an opportunity to get away and complete the rescue.

4. In the process of rescue, the head and face of the drowning person must be exposed to the water to ensure smooth breathing, reduce the sense of crisis and fear of the drowning person, reduce the struggle, save the physical strength of the rescuer and get out of danger smoothly.

It is particularly emphasized that if the rescuer is not familiar with water and water conditions, he must not rush into the water, otherwise he will not save people, but will increase casualties. For example, the girl who drowned in Shaoshan, Hunan Province, and the boys who drowned in Handan, Hebei Province, were not familiar with water or water conditions, but sacrificed their lives in vain, which is regrettable.
