Xiangyang, Hubei: The weather is hot, and citizens dive and swim in the Han River to cool off! What are the security risks for citizens to do so?

In hot summer, swimming is one of the best ways to relieve summer heat. But if you want to swim, you need to choose a regular and safe swimming pool. If you are a minor, you need to play this sport with your parents. Due to the general trend of global temperature rise, the temperature in all provinces of China is very high this year. The citizens of Xiangyang, Hubei choose to dive and swim in the Han River to cool off the heat, which has great security risks. Because there is no professional lifeguard around, once drowning happens, it will be an irreparable tragedy if the rescue is not timely. In addition, the Hanjiang River is a natural water area, and there are many aquatic plants in the river. If citizens are entangled in aquatic plants when swimming, it is difficult to break free or even cramp. At this time, the safety of citizens cannot be guaranteed.

In fact, many people swimming in the Han River are minors and children. In order to protect the safety of citizens, the local police station also tried every means. In the hot summer, the police station will patrol for two hours, constantly shouting reminders on both sides of the Han River, and be ready for rescue at any time.

Maybe many people are lucky when they swim in the wild. Few people drown, and it will never be their turn. This kind of luck is a neglect of one's own safety. In fact, from June this year to now, the Hanjiang Volunteer Rescue Team has rescued six drowning people. According to the description of the rescue team, among the six people they rescued, one college student couldn't swim at all, but rushed into the water just to join in the fun. This college student's behavior is joking with his own life and irresponsible to himself and his family.

Every summer, our country will educate primary and secondary school students on drowning prevention, but every year some minors and even adults drown and die. We need to improve our self-protection and safety awareness, and don't swim in areas without safety facilities, especially in some natural waters. Because in these natural waters, the river flows fast, plus aquatic plants, eddies and so on. Even if you have a strong swimming ability, you will face accidents.
