Police officers' appeal
Police officers from Puck County appeal to those relaxing by the water to be careful.
Remember: • You should only swim in designated areas and under the supervision of qualified lifeguards • Children should only play by the water under the watchful care of adults • Under no circumstances should you enter the water after drinking alcohol. • Do not enter the water immediately after lying in the sun for a long time, first cool your body down gradually. This way you will avoid thermal shock • Leave the mattresses on the shore – do not swim out to the middle of the reservoir on them • When in the water, follow the instructions of the lifeguards • When using floating equipment, regardless of your swimming skills, put on life jackets or life jackets • Avoid using “wild bathing areas”. In such places, we are not sure about the quality of the water and the shape of the bottom under the water surface • Pay attention to people nearby, it may turn out that someone will need help. Before you take action, consider your swimming skills and strength
