YMCA staff member offers safety tips for summer swimming In recent years, drownings have become the third leading cause of accidental deaths in the United States. Drownings occur every where -- at home, at work, in motor vehicle accidents, as well as in recreational activities according to Whit East of the staff of the YMCA. July is the peak month, accounting for more than 20 percent of all drownings; more than 60 per cent of drowning victims are under the age of 25; nearly 30 percent make up nearly 85 percent of the victims; weekends account for 40 percent of drownings; nearly half of the victims were alone at the time of drowning; and more than 70 per cent of all drowning victims didn't know how to swim. Annual drownings have increased from 6,500 in 1960 to a present level of 9,153 in 1988. To combat this growing death rate by drowning, the National YMCA offers these 12 basic rules for your swimming safety, Mr. East said. 1. Never go swimming alone. If you do, there will be no one to help you if you get into trouble. 2. Never go swimming at an unguarded spot. Docks, piers and river banks are dangerous places to swim. 3. Never dive into strange water. You might hit your head on the bottom or get caught in debris. 4. Don't attempt a water rescue unless you are trained and are a strong swimmer. If you attempt, you are likely to get into trouble. 5. Don't show off in the water. "Showoffs" cause many fatal acci dents every year. 6. Cool off before plunging into cold water. Cramps or heart failure may be brought on by sudden changes in body temperatures. 7. If you can't swim, stay out of small boats. Never go out in a canoe or rowboat unless you are wearing an approved flotation device. 8. Pay strict attention to warn ing signals. They are put there for your protection. 97 Race and swim toward shore, not away from it. When swimming "go out like a lamb and back like a lion." 10. Know your limitations. Don't go beyond your limits just because someone dares you. 11. Don't leave small children around water even for a minute. Small children don't realize the dan ger inherent in water. 12. Never mix alcohol and water. Drinking intoxicating bever age and swimming don't mix and often leads to fatal results. Mr. East points out that the leading cause of drowning is not the importance of learning to swim and to continue to develop swim ming skills for safety and as an exercise that simultaneously increases muscle tone, flexibility, improves posture and coordination, enhances circulation and physical endurance.
