These days we have been talking about the importance of watching children at all times in the pools and on the beach. Just 6 cm of water and 32 seconds are enough for a child to drown. Some data that make our hair stand on end and make us aware of the importance of children learning to swim, or at least to float on their backs, since they are very young.
He ISR (Infanti Swim Rescue) or water self-rescue method It basically consists of teaching children skills that will make them survive in the water. After six months, babies learn to stay afloat.
The technique is to teach the little ones to hold their breath for a few seconds with their eyes open so they can look for the surface. Once there they turn on their backs and float on their backs with their faces out of the water.
The idea was of the lifeguard Dr. Harvey Barnett, founder of the method, who at age 18 witnessed the drowning of a child from his community. From there he decided to teach children a way that they could survive in case of accidents. Today, it is also a swimming initiation technique that helps save many lives.
Floats and sleeves may fail. Therefore, the most reliable way to prevent drowning is for children to learn from small to swim, or at least to float until someone can rescue them.
