This summer, Odesa has reported 4 cases of drowning incidents!

According to the State Emergency Service.

Summer is a time for relaxation, but unfortunately, water claims lives each year. The most tragic part is that many of these incidents are preventable.

The State Emergency Service emphasizes the need to follow safety rules while enjoying leisure time:

• Only swim at officially designated beaches.
• Never leave children unattended.
• Do not enter the water under the influence of alcohol.
• Avoid swimming beyond the buoys.
• Do not swim during storms or rough waves.

Remember: water does not forgive mistakes!
