The bad accidents in upper Austria are increasing. This is related to the “Kroon” with swimming teacher Marion Falzeder. The expert gives tips for safe bathing pleasure.
Exactly a week ago, a ten -year -old Linzer jumped in the Wolfgangsee and no longer appeared. Thomas Hinternkörner responded in the spirit and saved him from a depth of four meters – the “Kroon” reported. Since then, the boy has been in the intensive care of the University Hospital of Salzburg, but according to her artificial deep sleep makes great progress.
The little one got up for the first time on Thursday. He speaks a lot to his mother, who does not give away from his side. “He is doing well according to the circumstances. It is not entirely certain whether he can get away without neurological consequences in the long term,” the hospital says to the request of “Krone”.
Adults also have swimming shortages
This tragic business is just one of the many heavy swimming accidents. “There are several components for this. Many children have not learned that swimming in the Corona period. Adults are often not aware of the risk or cannot swim at all. And swimming aids are often also deceptively, can easily slide down, says Marion Falzeder, swimming teacher and founder of the Nession Association.
Time and again she sees parents in the bathroom on the edge of the swimming pool for supervision, but there play with her mobile phone. She has also noticed for years that fewer and fewer people can swim.
“In the past it was perhaps one or two students in one class, now half is not swimmers. The children are becoming increasingly anxious, often they no longer stay without parents in the swimming course,” Falzeder said. Many people are also related to the inflow of other countries in which not as much swimming is with us.
Important tips: “Never further than an arm length away from a non -shimmer. Children have to wear strong, clear neon colors. They don’t notice it in a more, especially when they are under water.”
When the temperatures climb and the sun laughs from the sky, there is no stopping: a jump must be in the water. But his risk is not only underestimated in foreign cultures. The water has no grace and does not blossom in healthy people.
It doesn’t matter whether cramps, heart problems or whatever: far away, alone or in the dark, there is little help. Water rescuers and lifeguards are rarely available. If you are not absolutely sure of your skills and endurance, you must stay close to the coast. At the same time you can also swim long distances.
