SAFETY RULES
FOR SWIMMERS
Warn A gainst t Swimming
Alone and Over Ex-
ertiOn
DIVERS CAUTIONED

With the observance of National
Swim for Health Week, June 21-
28, the State Board of Health is
prompted to remind people that
while swimming is splendid exer-
else it can be exceedingly danger
Gus. Six accidental drownings
have been reported to the Vital
Statistics Division of the State
Board of Health SO far this year,
and twenty-one drownings as re-
suit of both boating and swimming
were reported during 1947.
It is always more dangerous for
persons to go swimming and boat
ing alone. AS a precaution, it is
advisable to be accompanied by
another person, preferably a good
swimmer, but even experts may
get into trouble. Efforts to swim
long distances are dangerous even
for good swimmers unless they are
accompanied by means of rescue in
case they develop cramps or undue
fatigue.
No summer passes without few
swimmers breaking their necks.
This nearly always comes about by
diving into streams or sand pits.
The water is either unduly shallow
or the diver strikes a stump or
some other submerged object. If
he doesn't fracture his neck, the
blow may render him unconscious
and lead to drowning.
1t is impossible to cover all the
dangerous possibilities that may be
encountered in the water, but the
State Board of Health's swimming
''don'ts" include the following:
l. Do not swim Immediately af-
ter a full meal.
2. Do not dive into water unless
you know that it is deep enough
and free of submerged objects,
such as tree trunks, rocks or pill
ing.
