The accidents in water are quite common nowadays specially in the summer as people prefer to go to the swimming pools and don’t care for the safety rules. The accidents occur as people fail to realize that the shallow point is being ended and go deep or due to the sinking of the boat or the water vehicle sinks or goofing of the people or due to the babies incognizant of skill of swimming.

The point arises that how to get to know about the person if he is drowning? These are some signs, if you see in a person in the water, is the indicator of problem. Any a person acting like the panic and waving his hands like trying to get the help. He might b going up and down in trying to get the air. This is the clear sign that the person is drowning. Another sign is a person look as if he is drowsy or a disoriented in the water. If the person is appearing that he is not breathing or missing or having blue lips then these are the signs of the drowning. In such situation what you need to do is to get the help immediately and get them away from the water. If you have jumped in the pool to save the person then make sure that you are moving in the relaxed manner as much as you can. Because going panic could result in the drowning of both of you as the person in the water is already panic and would pull you under and won’t let you go thus can causing a problem for both of you.

Put the victim on the land in such position that he/she could vomit easily and try to make his mouth out so that he could breath. And in case if he/she isn’t able to breath then you must give him/her mouth to mouth or CPR. This way could help him a little bit before the arrival of the paramedics. The most problematic is when a person has fallen in through the ice because in that case you need to get the help immediately with a rope to bring that person out and if he/she is unconscious then you might be needing several people to dig and then take the victim out.

And for preventing from the occurrence of such situation you must teach your children swimming and keep the little babies away from the pools. Don’t let your children play on the ice where they can fall through. Learn mouth to mouth and the CPR course and never ever leave your children unattended on the pool or in bath tub.
