Beach passions

"And there is white sand on the sea...", serenity, rest and complete relaxation… That's why we're going on vacation. But during the rest, various unforeseen situations may occur. You should definitely be ready for them. Our top 4 will help you get ready for the road.

1. "Night, street, lantern, pharmacy..."

Rather, the sea, rest and a first-aid kit. Yes, many people prefer the most beautiful shorts and dresses, tanning products or even perfume on the road. But what if you forgot to shop at the pharmacy? Then even a banal headache or poisoning risks spoiling the vacation. And help on the spot may not come soon. Tested on yourself. Once, on a southern vacation in the evening, I felt sick. Pharmacies were no longer working, the sanatorium doctor had to be expected on Monday. The weekend was ruined. Therefore, before traveling, it is necessary to take with you your usual medicines, and remedies for runny nose, headache, poisoning and antihistamines.

2. Watch your diet

When you go hungry from the beach, you don't have to think about it and eat in the first place you come across. It seems like a small thing. But personally, I'm always afraid to eat in catering establishments, where it's hot like outside, everything is open and insects are flying around, and the food is not protected in any way. Be sure to pay attention to such nuances, otherwise you may get digestive problems. It should be cool in a cafe or restaurant, the food should be in conditions with an appropriate temperature regime, and it should be reliably protected.

3. Sleep only in the hotel

Of course, when you lie on the beach, you feel completely relaxed, then you want to fall asleep under the leisurely sound of the waves or after a cocktail. If you have a sunbed under an umbrella and a blanket, of course you can. But there is always a risk of getting burned. And if you are just in a swimsuit and lying under the rays of the gentle sun, then this very sun can cause trouble if you fall asleep. You will lose control of the situation and you will have to be rescued by doctors.

4. "The sea, the sea is a bottomless world..."

To be honest, I have rested at sea more than once, but only now, preparing for another trip, I accidentally learned about the so–called draft or reverse current - a deadly phenomenon. And now I'm shocked that this is not being trumpeted at every corner to vacationers. In general, you should also know: sometimes some people peacefully relax on the beach, while others suddenly begin to sink, seemingly out of the blue. And if there are no rescuers or just knowledgeable people nearby, then a person can die, having lost a lot of strength in vain. The fact is that in some places, waves, due to the peculiarities of the terrain, even on shallow and calm beaches, create something similar to the mouth of a fast river, which suddenly begins to carry you away from the shore. You are trying to swim back, but you can fight the waves for half an hour and stay in place or move away from the shore. Know that it is useless to fight the cravings. He can only be outwitted.

First of all, do not panic. Panic leads to death. Secondly, you need to swim not to the shore, but parallel to it. This simple trick can save your life. The draft is usually not wide. Sometimes after a few meters you will find yourself in calm water. Thirdly, do not waste your strength, even professional swimmers cannot do it. The flow velocity can range from 5 to 20 km/h. Fourth, you can lift your feet from the bottom and lie down on the water. Tyagun often drags it along the bottom. Among the tips, there is also the advice to surrender to the current. As a rule, it will not take you very far. Where it stops, you can start swimming back parallel to the shore. But it is better not to swim behind the buoys and be in the line of sight of rescuers.
Rest is wonderful. And a safe vacation is doubly wonderful. We wish you only a wonderful holiday this summer.
