Aileswasensee opens again: safety tips for swimmers!
The Aileswasensee in Neckartailfingen has reopened and is attracting numerous bathers. However, with a view to the upcoming summer weekend, safety in the water is very important. In order to minimize risks when swimming in open waters, the German Life Saving Society (DLRG) has issued special bathing rules. These measures are crucial to preventing accidents in the water. According to the information from Stuttgart News At least five rescue workers are available at Lake Aileswasen to help in an emergency.
Rebecca Feinauer from the DLRG emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility. It is up to swimmers to take care of themselves and others. It is recommended not to enter the water if you feel unwell, and it is advisable not to swim on a full stomach or feeling very hungry. In addition, bathers should never swim alone. Children and young people in particular should never jump into the water without supervision. Recklessness can quickly lead to dangerous situations, which is why adults should always keep a close eye on the little ones. In the event of an emergency in the water, it is important to call for help immediately and make yourself known.
Safety rules and recommendations
The DLRG also recommends avoiding air mattresses and swimming aids, as these do not offer complete protection against drowning. During thunderstorms with lightning and thunder, bathers should definitely avoid the water. Stand-up paddlers are also asked to pay attention to swimmers and to paddle considerately. Bathers should also keep an eye on weather conditions and use appropriate sun protection.
For people who are often in the water, the DLRG recommends purchasing swimming badges. These demonstrate your swimming skills and knowledge and are an important signal for your own safety in the water. There are three swimming badges: bronze (free swimmer), silver and gold. However, the well-known Seahorse badge does not provide evidence of safe swimming, so people with only this badge should continue to be supervised. The DLRG swimming badges prove safe swimming at all ages and the separation between young people and adults was abolished in 2020, informed DLRG.
Compliance with these rules and recommendations is intended to ensure safety on Lake Aileswasen and other open waters. Bathers are required to pay attention not only to their own well-being, but also to the safety of others.
