FIRST AID FOR DROWNING

Saving a drowning person carries risk. Before swimming out to someone in trouble, be sure you can handle the situation. Many people drown in the brave effort of trying to save someone else.

First try to reach the person with a pole or extended hand. If you can't reach him or her, use a life preserver or rope.
If the person is further than you can reach and you decide to enter the water, approach the person carefully and from behind. Talk to the person, trying to calm him or her as you slowly move closer. Get the person to talk. Ask if everything is all right and tell him or her to do as you instruct.
Grab a piece of clothing or cup one hand under the person's chin and pull the person on his or her back to shore.
Tell the person to extend his or her arms away from you. Continue talking to the person to reassure him or her.

PREVENTION
Never leave a child alone near water or in the water.
Do not allow your child to swim too far from shore without the company of an experienced adult swimmer.
Swim, when possible, in sight of a lifeguard.
Never swim alone at the beach or in a swimming pool. Someone should be nearby in case you suffer a leg cramp or other potential emergency.
Never swim alone in unknown waters.
If you can't swim, always wear a personal flotation device when you enter in the water or ride in a boat.
Always check the depth of the water before diving. It should be at least 9 feet deep.

FIRST AID
CALL IMMEDIATELY FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE!
Your first priority is to get a drowning person out of the water as soon as possible.
If she isn't breathing, place her on the back on a firm surface. Immediately begin rescue breathing.
Don't assume it's too late to save a person's life.
EVEN IF THE PERSON IS UNRESPONSIVE, continue performing CPR and do not stop until medical professionals take over.
