It is preliminarily determined that all the little sisters were drowned. This news has attracted many people's attention. Two lives are so far away. For parents in summer, it is necessary to take care of their children when they go swimming to avoid tragedy.
It is reported that: ① the place where the accident happened was a bathhouse, and there was a "No swimming" warning sign not far away; ② the mother said that she was playing with her mobile phone at that time, and "if she had a circle of friends, the child would be gone"; ③ how the twin girls drowned in the sea, the police said that they were further investigating.
Where can't you take the children to swim?
1. Adult swimming pool: the adult swimming pool is usually disinfected with chlorine. There are many people, and bacterial infection may be large. It is far from the standard of professional infant swimming pool, so it is not recommended to take children to the adult swimming pool.
2. Seaside: the salt concentration in the sea water is very high, coupled with ultraviolet radiation, the body of children under 2 years old can't bear it. Children over 2 years old can play in the sea, but the best time is shorter. Take sun protection measures.
3. Rivers, lakes and reservoirs: rivers, lakes and reservoirs. The water in these places seems calm, but because there are hidden vortices under the water, they may be swept away by the vortices as soon as they enter the water. Try not to let children swim in these places.
What conditions are not suitable for children to enter the water?
1. Children should not enter the swimming pool immediately when they are sweating. They should first dry their sweat with a dry towel, and then enter the swimming pool after the pores shrink.
2. Children should not enter the water if they eat too much food before entering the water. Once the food is pressed to the trachea, it is easy to cause suffocation. Parents can choose half an hour before swimming to give their children a proper amount of food to supplement their physical strength, so as not to be hungry or full.
3. The child should not swim within 1 to 2 weeks after the recovery of cold, because the child may have myocarditis caused by cold, and it is easy to have an accident if he goes swimming.
What kind of behavior should we pay attention to?
1. Don't let the child leave the parents' sight after entering the water. Children are too young to have a concept of safety, so when children swim, parents should always focus on their children, so that they can take immediate action when children are in danger.
2. Swimming time should not be too long. The child can't swim too tired. Start swimming for 10 minutes and watch him feel comfortable and happy. If he is not happy or crying, don't swim.
3. After swimming, take out your ears properly. After swimming, it's best to check whether there is secretion such as epithelial desquamation on the external auditory canal and clean it up. However, some parents will carefully use cotton swabs or ear scoops to help their children pull out their ears, but they don't know that hard things such as cotton swabs will damage hair follicles, and some will form abscesses, causing pain, and the pain will increase when swallowing. Experts remind that at this time can let the baby tilt the head, let the liquid out.
What if the child drowns?
Children drowning should be rescued every second. We must pay attention to the immediate rescue at the scene, or transfer while rescuing. We must not only pay attention to the transfer to the hospital, but not carry out the first aid, which will delay the rescue time. The key point of on-site emergency treatment is to immediately discharge the water in the body, promote the breathing, recover the heartbeat, and then quickly transfer to the hospital for further rescue treatment.
After emergency treatment and recovery of breath and heartbeat, don't think it's all right, because complications of lung, heart and brain will appear, so parents must be escorted to the hospital immediately after emergency treatment to continue rescue treatment.
What is the normal process of children swimming?
1. Before children swim, parents should help children understand their physical condition and see if they are suitable for swimming. Children should be accompanied by their parents when swimming. According to the water quality, age, height and other factors of children, try to choose the water level area with high safety factor for swimming. And we should have a step-by-step learning plan suitable for children's characteristics, so that children are interested in swimming, so as to promote the purpose of exercise.
2. Before swimming in the water, children must be taught to form the habit of doing preparatory activities first, moving limbs, and scrubbing with cold water to adapt to the water temperature.
3. Before swimming, check whether the swimsuit, cap, etc. are suitable, and do not choose the cap or swimsuit that needs to be tied to the neck with rope, so as to avoid accidents. A pair of earplugs can also be prepared for children to prevent otitis media caused by water inflow.
4. Children's physical strength is limited when swimming, so the time in the water should not be too long. When you feel tired or uncomfortable, you should take your children ashore immediately to avoid accidents.
5. After swimming, you can wash your eyes with normal saline or use special eyedrops to protect your eyes.
6. After swimming, it is necessary to clean the body to avoid chemicals in the swimming pool water leaving on the skin and causing skin allergy. At the same time, in order to avoid the erosion of teeth by bleaching powder in swimming pool water, brush or rinse your teeth immediately after swimming.
