BRONSON Observance of a dozen common- sense rules of water safety would prevent most of the drownings and near-drownings which annually mar the swimming season, John 'E. Donovan, Acting Secretary of the Back Mountain YMCA declared to- day. Everybody, young and old, should learn to swim, and that way a goodly mumber of water ac- cidents would never happen, Mr. Donovan said. “Many people take all health pre- cautions they can, practice safe auto driving habits, look up and down before crossing a street, but for some reason or another just mever get around to learning to swim,” he explained. “Most adults won’t admit they can’t swim, and feel it is be- neath their dignity to start as be- ginners when they have achieved success in ‘the business or profes- sional worlds.” The result, Mr. Donovan said, is ‘that adults may get into ‘trouble in the water because they feel it is a sign of weakness to admit they cannot swim. ‘Parents, especially fathers, are the worst of- fenders among: non-swimmers,” he added. “To keep their children from knowing they can’t swim, fathers often take foolish chances. It is just as important for parents to know how to swim as it is for their children. If parents and child- ren learn at the same time, the swimming lessons ican become a fam- ily project. Based on the YM.CA's 67 ‘years’ experience in teaching swimming and water safety, Mr. Donovan listed 12 rules to help youngsters and adults of the Back Mountain area enjoy a safe, and happy swimming season: 1. Learn to swim. That's the first and most important rule. If you can’t swim, the only sensible thing to do is stay out of the water, and out of small boats as well. 2. Swim only at properly protec- ted beaches and pools. That way help can reach you quickly should you get into trouble. 3. Obey all warning signs. They are put there for your protection. 4. Don’t show off, and don’t take dares. Both these human failings have caused many accidents. Also, know your limitations and don’t brother in 25th Infantry Division’s 14th Regiment. Y Secretary Gives Twelve Rules For Water Safety (International) try to exceed them. 5. Never dive into unknown waters. You might strike rocks, or become entangled in debris. Don’t swim where there are ‘heavy growths of weeds. 6. When holding races, always swim towards the shore, not away from it. Then you won't find your- self exhausted and far from land. 7. Never swim alone. Always have another swimmer with you. 8. If you are over-heated, cool off before going into the water. Also, don’t try strenuous swimming after heavy meals. 9. Should you get into trouble, keep calm. Cling to an overturned boat or other floating objects. Com- paratively small things will support you, if you keep calm and take ad- vantage of your body's natural buoyancy. - 10. Don’t attempt a rescue in the water unless you are a strong swim- mer, skilled in life saving. Stay out of the water if possible, anid try to reach the person in trouble with a | pole, rope, or clothing. You may be able to push or throw something buoyant to him. 11. If you are sensitive to cold, and many people are, swim for short periods if the water is chilly. If it is cold, stay out enitirely. 12. In electrical storms, avoid swimming, open boats, beaches, fields or trees. Safest places dre houses, automobiles or beneath steel bridges. If you are trapped in the open, lie flat on the ground. S.
