Bathing fun in MV: DRK and brewery start prevention campaign!

In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the bathing fun will be more secure with an unusual partnership. The state association of the German Red Cross (DRK) together with the Mecklenburg brewery Lübz "certainly refreshes the campaign. Together for MV." launched. The aim of this initiative is to combine the joy of bathing with an education about the dangers that can occur in particular when enjoying alcohol. Here, the responsibility of the non -alcoholic beer "Lübzer 0.0 %" is specifically pointed out. This should be drawn to the risks of bathing, which are often due to the excessive consumption of alcohol, as the Uckermark courier reports.

Special promotions will take place on August 7th in the Ostseebad Heringsdorf. During a big day of action, the volunteer lifeguards of the DRK Wasserwacht have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills. Not only first aid is practiced there, but also offered an interactive "noisy goggle-promille parking". This gives the participants a lively insight into how alcohol affects reaction and thus endanger security when bathing.

important security measures

Awareness of the dangers in the water is extremely important, especially when it comes to drowning. Because as the Maltese explain, self -assurance should always have priority. Anyone who gets into a dangerous situation quickly makes decisions that can endanger one's own life and that of the drowning. Therefore, it is advisable not to just jump into the water. Instead, rescuers should approach a secure point from a safe point and possibly use aids such as swimming rings or ropes. In this way, a drowning person can be better saved without the rescuer himself in danger.

In the event of a bathing accident, quick action is required. Every second counts, because lack of oxygen can have devastating consequences. As a first measure, it is advisable to ventilate the data subject, which is also possible in shallow water. The Maltese have valuable tips on how to react in an emergency to save a person's lives.

Education for sustainable security

In order to ensure long -term security in the water, well -founded training is essential. The ASB offers various courses in the water rescue service that are aimed at committed citizens. Previous knowledge is not required, since the width training is also designed for beginners: inside. The training extends to specialized courses such as water rescuers: in or lifeboat guide: in. The goal is clear: more people should be sensitized to the dangers of water and trained at the same time in order to be able to help effectively in an emergency, according to the ASB Berlin.

Thanks to this cooperation and the important educational work, the initiators look forward to a safe bathing summer in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
