23、Hints on safety
Nearly everyone is attracted to water, whether it be the sea, canals, rivers or the village pond. Beautiful as it is, water should be regarded with respect as it can be dangerous. Around 300 children up to the age of ten die each year from drowning. It should be every parent’s responsibility to ensure that both he and the children swim safely and that as the child gets older, he has some knowledge of life-saving and artificial respiration（人工呼吸）.
The basic rules of water safety are:
－don’t leave small children playing alone in water
－never swim an hour before or an hour after a main meal
－if it’s a danger area, find out before you start swimming where the lifeguard is or where a life-belt is available
－as children get older, try to teach them to remain calm in an emergency
－look out for warning signs to see whether you’re in a danger area (see under this). Be especially careful of inland stretches of water-pools, reservoirs（水库）and dykes（沟）where there are often fewer people about than at the seaside.
