Now Ukraine is under martial law, so mass gatherings and swimming are not the time for the safety of everyone, because the Russian enemy could use it. At the same time, rescuers will be on duty tomorrow at traditional swimming locations. The State Emergency Service reported this on January 5.
The State Emergency Service also reminded the rules of safe behavior on bodies of water if someone decides to climb into an ice hole. Rescuers emphasized that it is necessary to dive in specially equipped ice holes near the shore and that it is strictly forbidden to swim while intoxicated.
Before going into cold water, you need to warm up your body. The path to the ice hole should be walked slowly and carefully, because it can be slippery. It’s better to immerse yourself in water up to your neck without getting your head wet, and you don’t need to stay in the water for more than 10 seconds.
After diving, you need to rub your body with a terry towel and put on dry clothes. And to avoid hypothermia, you should drink hot tea.
The State Emergency Service emphasized that swimming is contraindicated for people with acute and chronic diseases.
On Epiphany on January 6, the State Emergency Service, together with local authorities, will deploy more than 218 rescue posts. More than a thousand rescuers and 206 pieces of equipment will be on site, including more than 700 rescuers and more than 150 pieces of equipment from the State Emergency Service.
