IT IS FORBIDDEN:

• To go to reservoirs without adults. To swim without their supervision, even if you "know how to swim";
• To fool around in the water, push, jump from banks, cliffs;
• To give false cries of "I'm drowning, save me, help!";
• To swim on inflatable mattresses and car inner tubes;
• To dive in unfamiliar places;
• To swim beyond the buoys – this is the safety limit;
• To swim at unequipped beaches.

These young lives cannot be brought back:

• In the Glubokoye district, a 13-year-old boy drowned in a reservoir.
• In the Minsk region, a 16-year-old young man drowned in a place not intended for swimming.
• In the Pinsk district, a 15-year-old teenager could not cope with the current and drowned at an unauthorized swimming spot.
• In Mogilev, at Holy Lake, a 15-year-old boy died in the water.
• In the Gomel region, a 15-year-old teenager went underwater and did not resurface.

In all these cases, the children were at the water without adults nearby!
